Tocolytics are drugs that minimize the strength and number of contractions. Although an ideal goal would be to stop preterm labor completely, the most that can be reasonably expected from current tocolytics is a delay of 48 hours. This delay allows time for treatment with steroids and antibiotics.
Medicines used to during preterm labor may do what theyâre supposed to do to help you or your baby, but they may have side effects, too. Side effects can be different for every woman and depend on the kind of medicine you get. Talk to your provider about what kind of medicine is right for you.
