Methylergonovine, Ergonovine
Drug class: Antineoplastic Agents
Usage of Methylergonovine, Ergonovine
Postpartum Hemorrhage
Prevention and treatment of postpartum hemorrhage in the presence of uterine atony.
Administration of parenteral ergot alkaloids in the third stage of labor decreases mean blood loss and incidence of postpartum blood loss of ≥500 mL.
Methylergonovine maleate: A first-line agent for the treatment of postpartum hemorrhage; usually given after oxytocin.
Should not be used for the induction or augmentation of labor. Should not be used in cases of threatened spontaneous abortion.
Test for Variant Angina
Ergonovine maleate: Has been useful in diagnosing variant angina† [off-label]. Administered IV to induce coronary artery spasm in patients with suspected variant angina.

How to use Methylergonovine, Ergonovine
Administration
Ergonovine maleate: Administer orally or by IM injection. When used for diagnosis of variant angina† [off-label], has been administered IV.
Methylergonovine maleate: Administer orally or by IM or slow IV injection. Parenteral preparation also has been administered directly into the uterine corpus† [off-label].
Do not administer by intra-arterial or periarterial injection.
IV Administration
Methylergonovine maleate: For drug compatibility information, see Compatibility under Stability.
Methylergonovine maleate: Reserve IV administration for severe uterine bleeding or other life-threatening emergency situations. (See IV Administration under Cautions.)
If given IV, monitor BP.
DilutionMethylergonovine maleate: May be diluted to a volume of 5 mL with 0.9% sodium chloride injection.
Rate of AdministrationMethylergonovine maleate: Administer over at least 1 minute.
Dosage
Available as ergonovine maleate; dosage expressed in terms of ergonovine maleate.
Available as methylergonovine maleate; dosage expressed in terms of methylergonovine maleate.
Adults
Postpartum Hemorrhage Oral or SublingualErgonovine maleate: To minimize late postpartum bleeding, 0.2–0.4 mg every 6–12 hours until uterine atony has passed (usually 48 hours). Lower dose may be used if severe cramping occurs.
OralMethylergonovine maleate: To control uterine bleeding during the puerperium, 0.2 mg 3 or 4 times daily for up to 1 week.
IMErgonovine maleate: 0.2 mg. Repeat as necessary; manufacturer states that IM dose rarely needed more frequently than once in 2–4 hours.
IV or IMMethylergonovine maleate: 0.2 mg; repeat as necessary every 2–4 hours.
Test for Variant Angina† [off-label] IVErgonovine maleate: 0.1–0.4 mg has been used.
Special Populations
Hepatic Impairment
No specific dosage recommendations for hepatic impairment.
Renal Impairment
No specific dosage recommendations for renal impairment.
Geriatric Patients
Methylergonovine maleate: Manufacturer recommends selecting dose with caution; start at the lower end of the dosing range due to the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, and/or cardiac function and of concomitant disease and drug therapy.
Warnings
Contraindications
Warnings/Precautions
Warnings
IV AdministrationMethylergonovine maleate: Do not routinely administer IV. Possibility of sudden hypertension and cerebrovascular accident when administered IV.
Methylergonovine maleate: If IV administration is considered lifesaving, administer slowly; monitor BP. (See IV Administration under Dosage and Administration.)
General Precautions
Avoid prolonged use; discontinue if ergotism develops.
Concomitant DiseasesCaution in patients with sepsis, heart disease, venoatrial shunts, mitral valve stenosis, or obliterative vascular disease.
Specific Populations
PregnancyMethylergonovine maleate: Category C.
Methylergonovine and Ergonovine: contraindicated during pregnancy because of the drugs’ uterotonic effects. (See Contraindications.)
LactationMethylergonovine maleate: Distributed into human milk. Use with caution in nursing women.
Methylergonovine maleate: May be administered orally for a maximum of 1 week postpartum to control uterine bleeding. (See Postpartum Hemorrhage under Dosage and Administration.)
Pediatric UseSafety and efficacy not established in children.
Geriatric UseMethylergonovine maleate: Insufficient experience in patients ≥65 years of age to determine whether geriatric patients respond differently than younger adults.
Hepatic ImpairmentUse with caution.
Renal ImpairmentUse with caution.
Common Adverse Effects
Hypertension, seizures, headache, hypotension, nausea, vomiting.
What other drugs will affect Methylergonovine, Ergonovine
Drugs Affecting Hepatic Microsomal Enzymes
Methylergonovine maleate: Interaction possible with drugs that are inhibitors of CYP3A4; potential for vasospasm, cerebral ischemia, and/or ischemia of the extremities.
Concomitant use of ergot alkaloids and HIV protease inhibitors, delavirdine, or efavirenz is contraindicated. Because postpartum hemorrhage due to uterine atony is often managed with methylergonovine, the Perinatal HIV Guidelines Working Group of the Public Health Service Task Force has issued recommendations concerning use of methylergonovine in women receiving certain antiretroviral agents. For recommendations concerning use of methylergonovine in patients receiving HIV protease inhibitors, delavirdine, or efavirenz, see Specific Drugs under Interactions.

Caution
HIV protease inhibitors
Possible increased concentrations of ergot alkaloids and potential for serious and/or life-threatening effects such as ergot toxicity (peripheral vasospasm and ischemia of the extremities and other tissues)
Concomitant use contraindicated
If treatment of uterine atony and excessive postpartum bleeding is indicated in a woman receiving an HIV protease inhibitor, use methylergonovine only if alternative treatments (i.e., misoprostol, Carboprost, oxytocin) cannot be used and if potential benefits outweigh risks; use methylergonovine at lowest dosage and shortest duration possible
Delavirdine
Possible increased concentrations of ergot alkaloids and potential for serious and/or life-threatening effects such as ergot toxicity (peripheral vasospasm and ischemia of the extremities and other tissues)
Concomitant use contraindicated
If treatment of uterine atony and excessive postpartum bleeding is indicated in a woman receiving delavirdine, use methylergonovine only if alternative treatments (i.e., misoprostol, carboprost, oxytocin) cannot be used and if potential benefits outweigh risks; use methylergonovine at lowest dosage and shortest duration possible
Efavirenz
Possible increased concentrations of ergot alkaloids and potential for serious and/or life-threatening effects such as ergot toxicity (peripheral vasospasm and ischemia of the extremities and other tissues)
Concomitant use contraindicated
If treatment of uterine atony and excessive postpartum bleeding is indicated in a woman receiving efavirenz, use methylergonovine only if alternative treatments (i.e., misoprostol, carboprost, oxytocin) cannot be used and if potential benefits outweigh risks; use methylergonovine at lowest dosage and shortest duration possible
