Correct option is D
Sol. Methergin (ergometrine) is used to control postpartum hemorrhage by causing uterine contraction, not for lactation suppression. Drugs like cabergoline and bromocriptine suppress prolactin, the hormone responsible for milk production.
Explanation of each option:
· (a) Cabergoline – Dopamine agonist; suppresses prolactin secretion to stop milk production.
· (b) Pyridoxine – High doses can reduce prolactin and are sometimes used for lactation suppression.
· (c) Mixogen (estradiol) – Estrogenic hormone that can suppress lactation when given in combination with progestin.
· (d) Methergin – Incorrect. It is an oxytocic drug used to manage uterine bleeding, not to suppress lactation.
