[Influence of na-salicylate on uterine motility in labour (author's transl)]

A dosage of 10 mg/kg body weight Na-salicylate has no depressive effect on uterine motility. The examination carried out intra partum in the condition of normal uterine activity support our opinion that relatively high doses of 3--5 g per day or the simultaneous administration of beta-adrenergical substances are necessary to obtain an effective tocolysis.
