Ill Effects of Drugs Used to Arrest Labor

The administration of drugs to prevent labor during pregnancy may indicate an underlying problem with gestation or labor that is worthy of investigation. Magnesium sulfate or Trebutaline (Brethline) may have been prescribed in an attempt to arrest premature labor. The need for drugs to stop premature labor raises questions that demand and deserve answers. These drugs can also cause maternal and fetal problems.
