Methergin Injection contains methylergometrine as its active ingredient, which targets the smooth muscles of the uterus. Here's how it operates:

• Methylergometrine enhances the tone, rate, and strength of contractions in the uterine smooth muscles.
• As a result, it induces a rapid and sustained tetanic uterotonic effect, thereby shortening the third stage of labour and reducing blood loss.
