[The effect of tocolytic drugs on oxytocin-induced uterine contractility in vitro]
Abstract
The results obtained demonstrate that the blockers of calcium channels effectively inhibit uterine contractions induced by oxytocin. Its effects depends on the doses administered and is comparable to those of ritodrine and of magnesium sulphate. A channel of potassium, dependent on calcium was also identified and this channel was activated by oxytocin.
