With respect to MgSO4 for tocolysis - from my reading what has "been established" is that it is no better than placebo for tocolysis. I therefore stands to reason that if you have a medication that has ANY side effects and is no better than placebo that it makes no sense to use it. I use indomethacin to 32 weeks, I will then use whatever the MFM specialist requests (everyone under 34 weeks in prem labour gets transferred out, everyone over 34 weeks is allowed to deliver).

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.
