What does it do?

This ingredient works on the uterine smooth muscle and is primarily used to prevent or treat postpartum uterine bleeding. It helps promote uterine contractions so that the uterus returns to its normal size after childbirth.

Methylergometrine maleate enhances the contractions of the uterine muscles, allowing the uterus to contract more quickly after childbirth. This reduces uterine bleeding and lowers the risk of complications due to bleeding.
