Metherine is a brand name for Methylergonovine, an Ergot alkaloid, most commonly used to stop excessive bleeding that can occur after having a baby or an abortion.

I was reading that bleeding can continue anywhere between 3 days to 5 weeks after the procedure. Below is a link to an informative article about recovering from an abortion. Please go over it with your girl, and help to make sure she's doing all she can to recover quickly.

Taken from the above link:

Physical Symptoms after an abortion that are cause for concern:

Fever over 100 degrees that doesn't respond to medication - if a fever is present for 48 or more hours, over 100 degrees, call your doctor.

How much bleeding is normal?

bleeding should be no heavier that a heavy flow period at worst.

small clots are ok, like a quarter or grape size.

bigger clots are a danger sign, like an apricot, orange or bigger

bleeding should stay the same or get lighter it should never get heavier - this is a possible danger sign.

bleeding lasts anywhere from 3 days to 5 weeks after the procedure.

If the amount of bleeding increases, or if the color of the discharge changes back to a bright red, indicating 'new' bleeding, you should call your Dr. for an appt. to be checked. In the meantime, if you have been doing too much activity, or lifting things, return to bedrest, (or couch rest :), elevate your feet. Stay in bed, let the chores wait, order pizza for dinner, ect. You've had a surgical procedure, and it's important to take good care of yourself physically, and not try to do too much right away.

Cramping and pain worse than normal heavy menstrual period - there will be some painful cramping, and soreness. If the pain is excessive, or doesn't respond to pain medicine, call your doctor.

Discharge of tissue

Foul-smelling vaginal discharge

Abdominal swelling and/or tenderness

Continued strong symptoms of pregnancy

Change in bowel or bladder habits, especially lack of bowel movements

Blood in stool or urine

Bleeding from IV sites (call ambulance!)

Dizziness, fainting, nausea
