Meccanismo d'azione

Carbetocin

Carbetocin is an oxytocin receptor agonist with prolonged duration. It triggers a sustained contraction of the uterus after birth, preventing atonic hemorrhage — unlike oxytocin, without a multi-hour infusion.

Epitalon

Postulated mechanisms include modulation of gene expression in pinealocytes, telomerase activation (observed in cell culture studies) and influence on melatonin synthesis. A defined primary receptor is not established; the mechanistic basis rests on in-vitro and animal data from the Khavinson group.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Carbetocin and Epitalon?: Carbetocin is classified as "Ricerca (altro)", while Epitalon is classified as "Ricerca (altro)". Carbetocin: Carbetocin is a long-acting synthetic oxytocin analog (half-life ~40 minutes). It prevents postpartum hemorrhage as a single injection. Approved in Canada and the UK among others, NOT in the US. Epitalon: Synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) derived from the pineal extract epithalamin (V. Khavinson, St. Petersburg). Investigated in the Russian research and anti-ageing context; Western controlled trials are largely absent. No medicines approval in EU or US. This page contrasts both neutrally and source-based — with no usage or dosing recommendation.
Which peptide is better supported by science, Carbetocin or Epitalon?: The highest available evidence level is "RCT sull'uomo" for Carbetocin and "Studio sull'uomo" for Epitalon. A higher evidence level means more robust data, but says nothing about suitability for an individual. The full body of evidence is on each peptide's own page.
What is the legal status of Carbetocin and Epitalon in Germany and the United States?: Germania: Carbetocin — Su prescrizione, Epitalon — Non approvato. Stati Uniti: Carbetocin — Non approvato, Epitalon — Non approvato. These are factual summaries with source and review date on the individual pages.
