Acute pulmonary edema associated with the use of oral ritodrine for premature labor.

R C Gupta1, S Foster, P M Romano, H M Thomas.   

Abstract

We describe a patient who developed acute pulmonary edema while taking oral ritodrine for the treatment of premature labor and recovered after its discontinuation. The mechanism of development of pulmonary edema associated with beta-sympathomimetic agents is still not fully understood. Patients taking oral ritodrine should be observed for cardiopulmonary signs and symptoms.
