Abstract:
Verapamil and gynipral administered to pregnant rats in doses on a clinical level suppress the uterine contractions, which is manifested by a decrease in the amplitude and frequency of the biopotential. The joint administration of gynipral and verapamil (in half doses) resulted in a pronounced tocolytic effect.
