  • Title: [Calcium antagonists in pregnancy as an antihypertensive and tocolytic agent].
    Author: Lechner W.
    Journal: Wien Med Wochenschr; 1993; 143(19-20):519-21. PubMed ID: 8135035.
    Abstract:
    In pregnancy calcium antagonism is of great importance. The uterus-relaxing properties of verapamil are well known, diltiazem shows an excellent tokolytic efficacy and is also effective as hypotensive in pregnancy-induced hypotension. In contrast to verapamil and diltiazem the dihydropyridines were not clinically successful as tokolytic or hypotensive in pregnancy. Magnesium is a therapy of first choice in the EPH-gestosis.
