Abstract
Cases (67) of premature labor (48 with unruptured and 19 with ruptured membranes) were treated with ritodrine or magnesium sulfate infusion supplemented with oral ritodrine in case of initial success. Both treatment regimens were found effective irrespective of maternal age, parity, ethnic background and number of previous abortions. Early administration of tocolytic agents evidently is highly successful in arresting premature labor and preventing its dire consequences.This publication has 22 references indexed in Scilit:
