ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: | NCT00306462 |
Primary Hypothesis:
Acute tocolysis (48 hours) using oral nifedipine is more effective than intravenous magnesium sulfate in prolonging pregnancy in women with preterm labor with intact membranes between 24 and 32 6/7 weeks' gestation.

Arms | Assigned Interventions |

1: Active Comparator
Intravenous magnesium sulfate or placebo
|
Drug: Magnesium sulfate
Intravenous magnesium sulfate 6g bolus, then increased by 1 g/hour till a maximum of 5g/hour; gradually wean down to 2 g/hour for a total of 48 hours once uterine contractions is < 6/hour.
|
2: Active Comparator
Oral nifedipine or placebo
|
Drug: Oral Nifedipine or placebo
Oral nifedipine or placebo at 20 mg every 30 minutes for the first hour, then 20 mg every 3 to 6 hours not to exceed 180 mg in 24 hours, keep maintenance dose at 20 mg every 3 to 6 hours for a total of 48 hours if uterine contractions is < 6/hour.
