I believe you are looking for Methergine, it is an oxytocic as described in

Dorland's " an agent that hastens evacuation of the uterus by stimulating

contractions of the uterus.

Hope this helps ya!

Diane, That would be Methergine, per Drake & Drake, oxytocic for induction of

labor, control of postpartum uterine atony and postpartum hemorrhage. Margaret

The patient was noted in the postpartum period to continue to bleed despite

s/l " Methogen " and prostaglandin.

Methergine would be my guess, but you did not give a dose. It is for

postpartum hemorrhage.
