Methergin Tablet

Methergin Tablet is used to manage bleeding from the uterus that can occur after childbirth or following an abortion. It works by stimulating the smooth muscles of the uterus, increasing the strength, frequency, and duration of contractions, which helps reduce blood loss effectively.

The tablet can be taken with or without food, but it is recommended to take it at the same time each day for consistent results. The exact dose and duration will be determined by your doctor based on your condition and response to treatment. Swallow the tablet whole with water and continue the medication for the entire period prescribed, even if your symptoms improve.

Common side effects may include headache, elevated blood pressure, and in rare cases, seizures. If any of these become severe or persistent, contact your doctor promptly. Alcohol consumption is generally not recommended while taking this medicine.

Before starting Methergin, inform your doctor if you have any history of heart disease or high blood pressure. Additionally, tell your doctor about any other medications you are using, as interactions may affect how well this medicine works.
