Prostaglandin inhibitors as tocolytic agents

Seminars in Perinatology, 2001
Indomethacin, a nonspecific prostaglandin synthetase inhibitor, gained popularity several decades ago as a potent tocolytic agent. This popularity, however, was tempered by concerns over fetal and neonatal complications associated with its use. However, with better recognition of the safety limitations, there has been a renewed interest in using ...

Fetal and neonatal effects of indomethacin used as a tocolytic agent

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1985
beta-Mimetic agents are currently recommended for tocolysis. Serious adverse reactions including maternal death may complicate their use. Prostaglandin synthetase inhibitors are effective tocolytic agents. Reports of potential adverse effects have limited clinical use in North America.

Effect of tocolytic agents on fetal umbilical velocimetry

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1990
In this prospective study, we sought to examine the changes in umbilical vascular resistance induced by tocolytic therapy. Umbilical artery velocimetry was performed in 46 patients with preterm labor before tocolysis and at 1 hour and 24 hours after tocolysis was initiated.

The Safety and Efficacy of Tocolytic Agents for the Treatment of Preterm Labor

Obstetrical and Gynecological Survey, 1990
Pharmacologic inhibition of uterine contractions remains the mainstay of treatment for preterm labor despite the ongoing controversy regarding its effectiveness. A diverse variety of tocolytic medications have been proposed for clinical use, with betamimetics and magnesium sulfate being the common therapeutic agents of choice in the United States today.

A Comparison of the Relative Toxicities of β-Sympathomimetic Tocolytic Agents

American Journal of Perinatology, 1985
To define the relative toxicities of ritodrine sulfate, terbutaline sulfate, hexaprenaline sulfate, and ritodrine with betamethasone mongrel dogs were treated with these agents for 19 hours. The maximum dose of ritodrine was 900 microgram/min (N = 5), terbutaline 120 micrograms/min (N = 4) and hexaprenaline 1.5 micrograms/min (N = 4). Betamethasone was
