Transdermal nitroglycerin effectively managed preterm labor in a nulliparous patient without adverse effects. This approach offers a potential alternative to intravenous fenoterol for tocolysis.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Preterm labor is a significant concern in obstetrics, necessitating effective tocolytic agents.
  • Current standard treatments, such as intravenous fenoterol, have potential side effects.

Observation:

  • A 22-year-old nulliparous patient experiencing preterm labor was treated.
  • Treatment involved a transdermal nitroglycerin patch for tocolysis.

Findings:

  • The transdermal nitroglycerin therapy successfully arrested preterm labor.
  • No significant side effects or sequelae were observed during or after treatment.

Implications:

  • Transdermal nitroglycerin presents a potential alternative to intravenous tocolytic agents.
  • Further research is warranted to explore the advantages and disadvantages of this delivery system compared to fenoterol.
