Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Pharmacology
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Preterm labor is a significant concern in obstetrics, necessitating effective tocolytic treatments.
  • Ritodrine hydrochloride is a beta-2 adrenergic agonist commonly used for managing preterm labor.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a case of maculopapular rash developing during intravenous ritodrine hydrochloride therapy for preterm labor.

Main Methods:

  • A case report detailing the clinical presentation and treatment of a 32-year-old nulligravida hospitalized for preterm labor.
  • Intravenous ritodrine hydrochloride was administered for 33 days.

Main Results:

  • The patient developed a fine maculopapular rash after 33 days of ritodrine hydrochloride treatment.
  • The rash is a potential adverse effect of ritodrine hydrochloride therapy.

Conclusions:

  • Healthcare providers should be vigilant for dermatological side effects, such as maculopapular rash, in patients receiving ritodrine hydrochloride.
  • Monitoring for adverse drug reactions is crucial for patient safety during tocolytic therapy.
