The review highlights the various uterotonic agents available, including oxytocin, carbetocin, ergot derivatives, and prostaglandins, and discusses their benefits and limitations. The prophylactic use of uterotonics has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of postpartum hemorrhage and the need for additional interventions.
