Abstract
In pregnancy calcium antagonism is of great importance. The uterus-relaxing properties of verapamil are well known, diltiazem shows an excellent tokolytic efficacy and is also effective as hypotensive in pregnancy-induced hypotension. In contrast to verapamil and diltiazem the dihydropyridines were not clinically successful as tokolytic or hypotensive in pregnancy. Magnesium is a therapy of first choice in the EPH-gestosis.
