According to UW, Magnesium Sulfate is the drug of choice (over ritodrine or terb) for tocolysis... WTF!
So I look up "tocolytics" on UTD and read the following about MgSO4: "... (Magnesium sulfate)... has failed to demonstrate any benefit compared to placebo for the prolongation of pregnancy. A Cochrane review of 23 trials concluded that there was no evidence of a clinically important tocolytic effect for magnesium sulfate..."
Anyone else see this question or have any others like it?
