Methylergometrine

Methylergometrine is a medication used to treat postpartum hemorrhage, which is excessive bleeding after childbirth. It is a synthetic ergot alkaloid that primarily acts as a vasoconstrictor, causing the blood vessels to constrict and reduce blood flow. This helps to control bleeding and stabilize the patient’s condition.
Methylergometrine is often administered as an injection and is typically used when other measures, such as uterine massage and the use of oxytocics, have failed to control bleeding. This medication should only be used under the supervision of a healthcare professional, as it can have side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and increased blood pressure.
