Procardia for Contractions?

September 16, 2008

Hi docs, i was wondering if any of you could shed light on this drug- a calcium channel blocker for having contractions. i am worried this will hurt the baby. is this a worse drug to take than turbutaline? thank you.

Procardia, a heart medicine, also helps relax smooth muscle in the uterus. A single pill can be time-released once a day.
