[Dilatol for hypertension therapy in pregnancy (author's transl)].

Abstract

Dilatol (Nylidrin), a betamimetic used for tocolysis, was applied to ten hypertensive women in advanced pregnancy and produced in them characteristic effects with favourable impact upon oxygen supply to the foetuses, such as significant lowering of diastolic pressure, decrease in total peripheral resistance which reflected increase in uteroplacental blood flow, as well as rises in heart rate, stroke volume, and cardiac output. Nylidrin, therefore, may be recommended as a hypotensive drug in the treatment of arterial hypertension in pregnancy.
