  ABSTRACT: Objective: To compare the efficacy of Oxytocin versus Methylergometrine in active management of third stage of labour in reducing risk of postpartum hemorrhage. Methods: This study was carried out by randomly assigning into two groups with 150 women in each group.Group 1 included patients who received injection Oxytocin 10 IU intramuscular within one minute of the birth of the baby. InjectionMethylergometrine(0.2 mg) was given intravenously at the delivery of anterior shoulder of the baby to women in Group 2. Outcome measures were the duration of third stage, blood loss, pre and post-delivery hematocrit, side effects and incidence of PPH. Statistical analysis was done using Chi square test, Fischers test, Mann Whitney test, and t test. p
