Abstract

To compare carboprost trometamol with methylergometrine in managing the third stage of labor.One hundred and fifty parturient women were randomly assigned to use carboprost trometamol or methylergometrine immediately after delivery.Both the duration of the third stage and the mean blood loss were significantly less in the carboprost group than the methergine group (P < 0.001).Carboprost trometamol is a more potent uterotonic drug than methylergometrine. Reducing blood loss in parturient women is very important especially in cases where there is the likelihood of anemia.
