Abstract

The purpose of this randomized study was to compare the efficacy of ritodrine alone (51) versus ritodrine plus magnesium gluconate (56). We concluded that high oral doses of magnesium therapy (4 x 3 gr) potentiate the effects of intravenous beta-agonists, allowing a reduction of the dosage needed and a better "tolerance". Considering the low side effects, it seems reasonable to consider using magnesium in the treatment of premature labour.
