Antepartum hemorrhage (APH) due to placenta previa is an important cause of worldwide perinatal mortality and maternal morbidity in pregnant women. No medication is of specific benefit to a patient with placenta previa. Tocolysis may be cautiously considered in some circumstances in order to administer antenatal corticosteroids. A review article concluded that there is no improvement in perinatal outcome with prolonged tocolytics, and tocolysis beyond 48 hours is not clinically indicated.
