Effect of methylergonovine on puerperal prolactin secretion
Obstet Gynecol.
1975 Aug.
Abstract
Serum prolactin concentration was measured by radioimmunoassay in 29 women, in the first 1 1/2 hours postpartum. Fourteen women received 0.2 mg methylergonovine maleate (Methergine) intramuscularly after the delivery of the placenta. Fifteen women who served as controls received only saline. The rise in serum prolactin concentration seen in the control women (266.4 ng/ml +/- 40.8 SE) was significantly greater than that seen in methylergonovine-treated patients (141.0 ng/ml +/- 29.0. SE).
