Safety and efficacy of long-term tocolysis with indomethacin
1990
: Indomethacin was utilized in 24 pregnancies (31 exposed fetuses) in preterm labor who labored despite intravenous tocolysis. The mean gestational age at the start of indomethacin therapy was 25.1 weeks (+/- 4.4), mean duration of indomethacin therapy was 43.9 days (+/- 31.4), mean gestational age at delivery 33.1 weeks (+/- 3.7). Neonatal follow-up revealed the same incidence of complications in these indomethacin-exposed infants, when they were compared with all other infants born in the same time period and exposed to intravenous tocolytics only when matched for gestational age at delivery.
