  • Title: Methylergonovine-induced hypertonus in term pregnancy. A case report.
    Author: Moise KJ, Carpenter RJ.
    Journal: J Reprod Med; 1988 Sep; 33(9):771-3. PubMed ID: 3172085.
    Abstract:
    The administration of methylergonovine maleate to a patient at term is rare. A patient received the drug at 36 weeks' gestation, with subsequent development of fetal distress secondary to uterine tetany. Treatment with terbutaline and magnesium sulfate was unsuccessful in alleviating the uterine hypertonus, necessitating cesarean section.
