The correct option is A

a) 1 only


Oxytocin needs to be stored and transported at 2–8 degrees Celsius, and becomes less effective when exposed to heat. Carbetocin does not require refrigeration and retains its efficacy for at least three years even if it is stored at 30 degrees Celsius, and in 75% relative humidity. According to WHO, Carbetocin is a safe and effective alternative to oxytocin
