Injection of Ergometrin after the delivary of the first twin is coorrect I think.Any way please let me know the exact timing of administration of Methergin to reduce PpH.

  #4

ergots are absolutely contraind after delivery of the first...u dont want to shear off the blood supply to the 2nd baby....thereby committing murder

  #5

Yes. i agree about Ergot
But what about Methergin to prevent PPH. When is t given . Please let me know. Like in single gestation and twins. IS it after the delivery of shoulder. I tried reffering books But to my surprise I could not find it. Please explain.

  #6

methergin is an ergot alkaloid....methsergyside....it is used after the delivery of the baby to augment the contractions and to control PPHGE

it is used in the 4th stage of labor
