The effect of oral ritodrine on maternal and fetal carbohydrate metabolism
Br J Obstet Gynaecol.
1976 Sep.
Abstract
The reported growth-promoting effects of the beta-sympathomimetic compound, ritodrine, have been investigated. The carbohydrate tolerance of eight pregnant women was found to be unaffected by treatment with oral ritodrine over a ten-week period. A further observation that the carbohydrate metabolism of the newborn infants of these women was within normal limits tends to discount possibility that any growth-promoting action ritodrine may have on the fetus is mediated through a diabetogenic effect on the mother.
