Ferring developed a heat-stable formulation of carbetocin, specifically to address limitations in refrigeration and cold-chain transport of PPH medications in L&LMICs. HSC does not require cold-chain storage, which can be difficult to maintain in resource-limited settings.

​

As part of a public-private partnership, the WHO led a CHAMPION trial that assessed HSC for the prevention of PPH after vaginal birth and involved nearly 30,000 women in ten countries. With the positive results from the trial, HSC was approved by Swissmedic, the Swiss stringent regulatory authority, for the prevention of PPH after all births.

Following this, HSC was added to the WHO Essential Medicines List (EML), the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Product Catalogue for “quality-assured commodities related to reproductive health, census and humanitarian response”, and listed as a WHO Prequalified product.
