Werkingsmechanisme
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.
Icatibant
Icatibant competitively blocks the bradykinin B2 receptor. Because bradykinin mediates the vascular permeability, swelling and pain typical of hereditary angioedema, the blockade interrupts the acute attack.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between Carbetocin and Icatibant?
- Carbetocin is classified as "Onderzoek (overig)", while Icatibant is classified as "Onderzoek (overig)". 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. Icatibant: Icatibant is a synthetic decapeptide and selective antagonist of the bradykinin B2 receptor. It is approved to treat acute attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE). This page contrasts both neutrally and source-based — with no usage or dosing recommendation.
- Which peptide is better supported by science, Carbetocin or Icatibant?
- The highest available evidence level is "Humane RCT" for Carbetocin and "Humane RCT" for Icatibant. 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 Icatibant in Germany and the United States?
- Duitsland: Carbetocin — Op recept, Icatibant — Op recept. Verenigde Staten: Carbetocin — Niet goedgekeurd, Icatibant — Op recept. These are factual summaries with source and review date on the individual pages.
