Methin 0.2mg Injection is an ergot alkaloid. It works by causing sustained contractions of the smooth muscles of the uterus. This results in compression of the blood vessels which controls bleeding after delivery.

Methin 0.2mg Injection is used for the prevention and control of post-delivery bleeding. It may also be used for the active management of the third stage of labor to facilitate the delivery of the placenta. It is given intravenously (into a vein) or intramuscularly (into the muscle) by a doctor or healthcare provider in a hospital or clinic. Its dose may be repeated as required at intervals of 2 to 4 hours. It should be avoided in patients with high blood pressure and heart disease.
