How can I stop preterm labor?

Terbutaline (Brethine)

Terbutaline (Brethine) is a tocolytic agent that relaxes the uterus. This drug is given to stop pre-term contractions. It can be given is small doses - or in large doses - or it can be given in a series of three subcutaneous shots while being hospitized. This usually halts the contractions and the drug should be taken until the 36th week of pregnancy.
