Tocolytic effects of intravenous nitroglycerin

Fundamental & Clinical Pharmacology, 2004
AbstractCurrently available tocolytic agents have shown partial or transient efficacy on uterine contractions delaying delivery for 24 or 48 h without reduction in perinatal morbidity and mortality. These facts led us to study a new tocolytic compound.

Perinatal Death and Tocolytic Magnesium Sulfate

Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2000
