Abstract

Because maternal antenatal steroid administration has been shown to improve neonatal outcome at gestational age Jess then 34 weeks, many obstetrical practitioners choose to use tocolytic agents in an attempt to delay premature delivery and, thereby, allow enough time for steroid treatment. Unfortunately, tocolytics are not without potentially serious side effects for both mother and fetus. Our objective was to review the complications associated with various tocolytic agents and describe their management.
