ABSTRACT
Preterm delivery is a worldwide major health problem with direct impact on perinatal
morbidity and mortality, so currently tocolytic therapy has become a dilemma. In such a
situation, the author of this article decided to review current literature on the subject in
order to describe different drugs -- mechanisms of action, side effects, dosage, route of
administration and time of use -- administered to inhibit preterm delivery, as well as new
tocolytics under study, so that obstetricians have the information necessary to enable
them to properly select the drug to be used individually and not in the population.
