Methergine 0.2mg Injection

Methergine 0.2mg Injection is an injection made by Novartis Pharma (pakistan)ltd that contains Methylergometrine 0.2mg, an ergot-derived uterotonic medicine. It is used for bleeding after childbirth and slow return of the womb to normal size after delivery. Pack size: 50 ampx 1 ml injection.

Uses of Methergine 0.2mg Injection

Methergine 0.2mg Injection is used to prevent and control heavy bleeding from the womb after childbirth, including after a caesarean section. It is also used when the womb is slow to shrink back to its normal size after delivery. Treatment usually starts in hospital as an injection, and tablets may be continued for a short time afterwards under medical advice.

How Methergine 0.2mg Injection works

Methylergometrine makes the muscle of the womb contract firmly and steadily. These contractions squeeze the blood vessels at the site where the placenta was attached, which reduces bleeding. It also helps the womb return to its normal size after delivery.

• Nausea or vomiting
