Abstract

30 women received an intramuscular injection of 0.2 mg of methylergobasine immediately after delivery and then 3 tablets of 1 mg of ergotamine tartrate per mouth daily for 6 days post-partum. 28 women received no treatment after delivery. The selection of the two groups was random. The treatment with rye ergot derivatives did not have a significant effect on the quantity of milk that the infant took, nor on the infant's weight gain in the 6 first days of life.
