4.2 Therapeutic Uses

Oxytocics

National Library of Medicine's Medical Subject Headings online file (MeSH, 2009)

For routine management after delivery of the placenta; postpartum atony and hemorrhage; subinvolution. Under full obstetric supervision, it may be given in the second stage of labor following delivery of the anterior shoulder. /Included in US product label/

US Natl Inst Health; DailyMed. Current Medication Information for METHERGINE - methylergonovine maleate tablet, coated (February 2010). Available from, as of March 6, 2012: https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=b91d1729-2e8e-4398-9a0d-02763bcfe284

Methylergonovine is a first-line agent for the treatment of postpartum hemorrhage; methylergonovine usually is given after oxytocin. Administration of parenteral ergot alkaloids during the third stage of labor decreases mean blood loss and the incidence of postpartum blood loss of 500 mL or more. /NOT included in US product label/

American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2011; Drug Information 2011. Bethesda, MD. 2011, p. 3307

Ergonovine and methylergonovine should not be used for the induction or augmentation of labor.

4.3 Drug Warning

/Contraindications of methylergonovine therapy include:/ hypertension; toxemia; pregnancy; and hypersensitivity.

Use of Methergine is contraindicated during pregnancy because of its uterotonic effects.

This drug should not be administered iv routinely because of the possibility of inducing sudden hypertensive and cerebrovascular accidents. If iv administration is considered essential as a lifesaving measure, methylergonovine should be given slowly over a period of no less than 60 seconds with careful monitoring of blood pressure. Intra-arterial or periarterial injection should be strictly avoided.

Caution should be exercised in the presence of sepsis, obliterative vascular disease, hepatic or renal involvement. Also use with caution during the second stage of labor. The necessity for manual removal of a retained placenta should occur only rarely with proper technique and adequate allowance of time for its spontaneous separation.

4.4 Drug Indication

5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry

5.1 Pharmacology

Methylergometrine is a semisynthetic ergot alkaloid and a derivative of ergonovine and is used for the prevention and control of postpartum and post-abortion hemorrhage. In general, the effects of all the ergot alkaloids appear to results from their actions as partial agonists or antagonists at adrenergic, dopaminergic, and tryptaminergic receptors. The spectrum of effects depends on the agent, dosage, species, tissue, and experimental or physiological conditions. All of the alkaloids of ergot significantly increase the motor activity of the uterus. After small doses contractions are increased in force or frequency, or both, but are followed by a normal degree of relaxation. As the dose is increased, contractions become more forceful and prolonged, resting tonus is markedly increased, and sustained contracture can result.

5.2 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Oxytocics

Drugs that stimulate contraction of the myometrium. They are used to induce LABOR, OBSTETRIC at term, to prevent or control postpartum or postabortion hemorrhage, and to assess fetal status in high risk pregnancies. They may also be used alone or with other drugs to induce abortions (ABORTIFACIENTS). Oxytocics used clinically include the neurohypophyseal hormone OXYTOCIN and certain prostaglandins and ergot alkaloids. (From AMA Drug Evaluations, 1994, p1157) (See all compounds classified as Oxytocics.)

5.5 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

Absorption is rapid after oral (60% bioavailability) and intramuscular (78% bioavailability) administration.

Route of Elimination

Ergot alkaloids are mostly eliminated by hepatic metabolism and excretion, and the decrease in bioavailability following oral administration is probably a result of first-pass metabolism in the liver.

Volume of Distribution

56.1 0 L

A delayed gastrointestinal absorption (Tmax about 3 hours) of methylergonovine tablets might be observed in postpartum women during continuous treatment with this oxytocic agent.

Pharmacokinetic studies following an iv injection have shown that methylergonovine is rapidly distributed from plasma to peripheral tissues within 2-3 minutes or less. The bioavailability after oral administration was reported to be about 60% with no accumulation after repeated doses. During delivery, with intramuscular injection, bioavailability increased to 78%. Ergot alkaloids are mostly eliminated by hepatic metabolism and excretion, and the decrease in bioavailability following oral administration is probably a result of first-pass metabolism in the liver.

Bioavailability studies conducted in fasting healthy female volunteers have shown that oral absorption of a 0.2 mg methylergonovine tablet was fairly rapid with a mean peak plasma concentration of 3243 +/- 1308 pg/mL observed at 1.12 +/- 0.82 hours.

For a 0.2 mg intramuscular injection, a mean peak plasma concentration of 5918 +/- 1952 pg/mL was observed at 0.41 +/- 0.21 hours. The extent of absorption of the tablet, based upon methylergonovine plasma concentrations, was found to be equivalent to that of the i.m. solution given orally, and the extent of oral absorption of the i.m. solution was proportional to the dose following administration of 0.1, 0.2, and 0.4 mg.

5.6 Metabolism/Metabolites

Hepatic, with extensive first-pass metabolism.

5.7 Biological Half-Life

3.39 hours

The plasma level decline was biphasic with a mean elimination half-life of 3.39 hours (range 1.5 to 12.7 hours).

Plasma concentrations of methylergonovine appear to decline in a biphasic manner. Following IV administration of methylergonovine to adults with normal renal function, the half-life of the drug in the initial phase (t1/2 alpha?) reportedly ranges from about 1-5 minutes and the half-life in the terminal phase (t1/2 beta) ranges from about 0.5-2 hours.

American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2011; Drug Information 2011. Bethesda, MD. 2011, p. 3308

5.8 Mechanism of Action

Methylergometrine acts directly on the smooth muscle of the uterus and increases the tone, rate, and amplitude of rhythmic contractions through binding and the resultant antagonism of the dopamine D1 receptor. Thus, it induces a rapid and sustained tetanic uterotonic effect which shortens the third stage of labor and reduces blood loss.

Methylergonovine acts directly on the smooth muscle of the uterus and increases the tone, rate, and amplitude of rhythmic contractions. Thus, it induces a rapid and sustained tetanic uterotonic effect which shortens the third stage of labor and reduces blood loss.

Ergonovine maleate and methylergonovine maleate are pharmacologically similar. Both drugs directly stimulate contractions of uterine and vascular smooth muscle. Following administration of usual therapeutic doses of ergonovine or methylergonovine, intense contractions of the uterus are produced and are usually followed by periods of relaxation. Larger doses of the drugs, however, produce sustained, forceful contractions followed by only short or no periods of relaxation. The drugs increase the amplitude and frequency of uterine contractions and uterine tone which in turn impede uterine blood flow. Ergonovine and methylergonovine also increase contractions of the cervix.

American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2011; Drug Information 2011. Bethesda, MD. 2011, p. 3308

Ergonovine and methylergonovine produce vasoconstriction, mainly of capacitance vessels; increased central venous pressure, elevated blood pressure, and, rarely, peripheral ischemia and gangrene may result. Methylergonovine reportedly may interfere with prolactin secretion, but this effect has not been definitely established.

American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2011; Drug Information 2011. Bethesda, MD. 2011, p. 3308

Ergot alkaloids are antagonists of actions of 5-hydroxytryptamine and of certain metabolic actions of catecholamines. /Ergot alkaloids/
