help me ## Methergine was prescribed for me for migraines to contract the blood vessels (a vasoconstrictor), prescribed by the Michigan Head Pain and Neurological Institute in Ann Arbor, Michigan. My class of migraines responds to all of the vasoconstrictors. Methergine has been used for pregnant women to stop bleeding. regular Primary Care physicians know little about migraines. Cafergot is in that class, I believe and works well for me, but watch for rebound headaches in long term use. This class is more responsive for me than Imitrex category. Hope this helps some. ## Where did you fill your script? I can't find. Anyone who carries it

Methergine injection = low milk supply?
Received a methergine shot after delivery for hemorrhaging, never got much breast milk. Is it because of this? ## Hello, Kate! How are you? Congrats on the baby! And yes, it can cause that in some women, generally it is advised to avoid breast feeding for at least 12 hours after the last dose. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thank you he is a joy! Did you have the methergine yourself? Most lactation consultants seem to know little about it. I struggled to breastfeed, and I was always just told that the methergine would be out of my system by now. I don't know if it had long term effects on me bc it was introduced before my milk even “came in".
