  • Title: Uterine and cardiovascular effects of beta2-selective sympathomimetic drugs administered as an intravenous infusion.
    Author: Lipshitz J, Baillie P.
    Journal: S Afr Med J; 1976 Nov 17; 50(49):1973-7. PubMed ID: 13501.
    Abstract:
    The uterine and cardiovascular effects of fenoterol, hexoprenaline, ritodrine and salbutamol, given as intravenous infusions in equivalent and therapeutic dosages in oxytocin-induced labour, were studied and compared. All the drugs were effective in reducing the uterine activity to less than 30% of the original. The effect on the cardiovascular system was to produce a moderate tachycardia and a widening of the pulse pressure by raising the systolic and decreasing the diastolic blood pressures.
