A prospective, randomized, controlled trial of high and low maintenance doses of magnesium sulfate for acute tocolysis
Article Abstract:
A high dose of magnesium sulfate can stop premature labor faster than a lower dose, but it also causes more side effects. This was the conclusion of a study of 160 women in premature labor who received 2 grams of magnesium sulfate per hour or 5 grams.
