Any of the Beta stimulators will do for that. Any way, the recommendation these days is to use Atosiban or a calcium channel blocker such as Nifedipine rather than a beta stimulator for that purpose. And not to continue after the steroids have been given.

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.
