I have a patient who is 33+5 weeks EGA, not responding to Terbutaline, refused MgS04, and I found out that nifedipine was no longer on formulary at the hospital. Any other recommendations for treatment while she gets steroids?

Do they carry ANY calcium channel blockers? Nicardipine? How about terb plus some progesterone?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
