Prospective Study on Premature Labor with Magnesium Sulfate
The efficacy of magnesium sulfate was evaluated as the primary tocolytic agent in the management of patients at risk for premature delivery. Fifteen patients presenting with premature labor between 28 and 35 weeks gestation, given titrated dose intravenously magnesium sulfate till uterine contractio...
