Sixty-seven cases of premature labor (48 with unruptured and 19 with ruptured membranes) were treated with ritodrine or magnesium sulfate infusion supplemented with oral ritodrine in case of initial success. Both treatment regimens were found effective irrespective of maternal age, parity, ethnic background and number of previous abortions. The study supports the clinical experience indicating that early administration of tocolytic agents is highly successful in arresting premature labor and preventing its dire consequences.
