Labergin Injection 1ml
Description
Labergin injection is used to control heavy bleeding from the uterus during childbirth, especially after the baby’s shoulder is delivered. It contains methylergometrine as an active ingredient. It works by helping your uterus tighten and contract strongly, which in turn squeezes the blood vessels and helps stop the bleeding. It also slightly narrows blood vessels, reducing blood loss and preventing heavy bleeding.
You should not take this medicine if you are allergic to it, have high blood pressure, have blood poisoning (toxaemia), or are pregnant. Common side effects may include high blood pressure, headache, seizures, stomach pain from uterine contractions, nausea, and vomiting. Your doctor or nurse will give you this medicine at the hospital, so you don’t need to inject it yourself.
This medicine can interact dangerously with some antibiotics, HIV medications, antifungal drugs, and other medicines that affect blood vessels or the heart. It’s essential to inform your doctor about all medications you are taking. If you have liver, kidney, or heart problems, or risk factors like smoking or diabetes, be extra careful when using this medicine. Also, keep it away from newborn medicines to avoid accidental mix-ups.
You should not breastfeed while using this medicine and for at least 12 hours after your last dose. Any breast milk collected during this time should be discarded. The medicine should be stored below 25°C, away from sunlight, children, and pets. Because the medicine is administered by a healthcare professional, missing a dose is unlikely. However, if you suspect a dose was missed, please notify your doctor or nurse immediately.

Interactions
Interactions with other medicines
- Avoid taking Labergin injection with strong antibiotics (such as erythromycin or clarithromycin), HIV medications (like ritonavir or indinavir), or antifungals (like ketoconazole or itraconazole), as these can dangerously increase Labergin injection’s effects and lead to serious complications, including narrowed blood vessels or poor blood flow....
- Use caution when taking medications that moderately interact with Labergin injection, such as fluconazole, fluoxetine, clotrimazole, and grapefruit juice, as they may still increase the risk of side effects....
- Some drugs, like nevirapine or rifampicin, may reduce how well Labergin injection works by speeding up how it is broken down in the body.
- Using beta-blockers with Labergin injection may increase the risk of high blood pressure or narrowing of blood vessels.
- Certain anaesthetics can make Labergin injection less effective in helping the uterus contract during surgery.
- Labergin injection may interfere with heart medications like glyceryl trinitrate, reducing their ability to relieve chest pain.
- Combining Labergin injection with other drugs that constrict blood vessels (such as other ergot drugs or prostaglandins) can increase the chance of harmful side effects.
