Preterm labor is one of the problems of obstetrics, and is one of the leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. The incidence of preterm birth is around 7 to 9 %. The preterm baby is prone to respiratory, renal, neurologic and gastrointestinal problems. The correct diagnosis should be followed by the early administration of the most effective tocolytic agent with least side effects for both mother and fetus. Nifedipine, a calcium channel blocker, has gained a world-wide popularity recently since it has the least side-effects on both mother and fetus. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the success rate of tocolytic agent 'nifedipine' on the spontaneous preterm labor of singeton pregnant women with intact amnionic membrane.
