Abstract EN
Preterm delivery is a public health issue of major proportion.
More than 12% of deliveries in the United States that occur at less than 37 weeks gestation preterm labor (PTL) represents the largest single reason for preterm birth (PTB).
Attempts to prevent PTB have been unsuccessful.
This paper of maintenance tocolytic therapy will examine the efficacy and safety of the drugs, both oral and subcutaneous, which have been utilized for prolongation of pregnancy following successful arrest of a documented episode of acute preterm labor.
The evidence for oral tocolytics as maintenance therapy as well as parenteral medications for such patients is offered.
Finally, the effects in the United States of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) action on such medications are reported.
