Abstract:
Preterm labor is the final common pathway of different complications of pregnancy and despite substantial progress in antenatal care, preterm birth remains a major health issue across the globe. Preterm deliveries in the larger group of spontaneous preterm labor or preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM) are often associated with intrauterine chorioamnionitis. Current evidence underlines the role of "inflammatory" and "placental dysfunction" disorders in pregnancy on prematurity-associated morbidity, particularly respiratory outcome.

Upper Respiratory Drugs: Antitussives, Expectorants, and Mucolytics
Antitussives include codeine, dextromethorphan (Robitussin), and benzonatate (Tessalon). Codeine and dextromethorphan exert their effects centrally by suppressing the cough reflex center in the medulla. Benzonatate operates peripherally within the respiratory tract by anesthetizing...
