Methergin Injection

Methergin Injection is used to manage uterine bleeding that can occur after childbirth or an abortion. It works by stimulating the smooth muscles of the uterus, increasing the strength, frequency, and intensity of contractions, which helps reduce excessive blood loss.

This medicine is intended for use under medical supervision only. It is administered as an injection into a vein or muscle by a healthcare professional in a hospital or clinic. The exact dosage and schedule are determined by your doctor based on your specific condition and needs.

Common side effects may include headache, elevated blood pressure, and in rare cases, seizures. If any of these become severe or concerning, inform your doctor immediately. Alcohol is generally advised against while receiving this medicine.

Before receiving Methergin Injection, it is important to let your doctor know if you have any history of heart disease or high blood pressure. You should also inform your doctor about any other medications you are taking, as these may affect how this medicine works.
