I suggest she goes to see a doctor immediately as like Natashalo8 said it is normally given to stop people Hemmoraging.

that's not good. you are not supposed to do that. it may not even harm the baby but do damage to her body. and where did she get the methergine tablets? a doctor would not give them to her unless she was hemmoraging (? spelling). if she ends up in the hospital b/c of this she will be in trouble i would imagine, b/c in the US it's illegal to take medication that is not prescribed to you. (that's assuming "she" lives inthe U.S). she should see a doctor immediately.

i had a m/c a few years ago and i do believe that's the pill they gave me to slow down my bleeding. i think (not positive) that it aids in expelling. I had a natural m/c and this is all i took. i did not have a d&c.

the best advice would be for you to consult your doctor. you cannot get those pills unless they are prescribed to you. i do not reccomend taking them if you are pregnant.
