Is There Any Use of Magnesium for Preterm Labor?

magnesium both for tocolysis which I guess we should just define as trying to stop contractions so this might be someone in preterm labor. Do you ever use magnesium to treat uterine hyper stimulation from oxytocin? Typically not typically we'll use tributoline. Okay. Let's move on to anti-seizure drugs. These drugs are sometimes given and they have implications for pregnant patients. phenotone is an anti-convulsant but it's also a competitive inhibitor of vitamin K. We really really want to avoid giving phenotone during organogenesis in the first trimester.
