About Methergin Injection

Methergin Injection is a medication used to manage postpartum or post-abortion bleeding from the uterus. It is important to emphasize that Methergin Injection should be administered solely by a medical professional and should not be self-administered. The appropriate dosage and frequency of administration will be determined by your doctor based on your specific condition.

This medication is commonly employed for preventing and controlling bleeding after childbirth. It may also be utilized to facilitate the delivery of the placenta as part of active management during the third stage of labour.

Informing your doctor about any history of heart disease or high blood pressure before taking this medication is crucial. Furthermore, its use during pregnancy is highly unsafe, and caution should be exercised if you are breastfeeding.
