Scope note: Fármacos que evitan el parto prematuro y el nacimiento de niños inmaduros al suprimir las contracciones uterinas (TOCÓLISIS). Entre las sustancias que se usan para retrasar la actividad uterina prematura se encuentran el sulfato de magnesio, los betamiméticos, los antagonistas de la oxitocina, los inhibidores de los canales de calcio y los agonistas de los receptores adrenérgicos beta. El uso de alcohol intravenoso como tocolítico ya es obsoleto.

Scope note: Drugs that prevent preterm labor and immature birth by suppressing uterine contractions (TOCOLYSIS). Agents used to delay premature uterine activity include magnesium sulfate, beta-mimetics, oxytocin antagonists, calcium channel inhibitors, and adrenergic beta-receptor agonists. The use of intravenous alcohol as a tocolytic is now obsolete.
