Medication given for premature labor contractions are not progesterone shots, instead they are direct sypathomimetics. Direct sympathomimetics are drugs that mimics the effects of dopamine, adrenaline and noradrenaline. The two drugs I know of is Ritodine and Terbutaline.
Reply:The shot is not to prevent preterm labor it is a steroid to help your baby's lungs mature. To prevent preterm labor the doctor may put you on IV medication called turbutmine (Spelling could be wrong). If you stabilize then the doctor can send you home on an oral medication that does the same thing and you take it once a day. You have to watch your blood pressure closely since it can raise blood pressure. Your insurance should cover it if the doctor says that it is needed for you baby
Reply:My Dr. calls the progestrone shots 17P. (I start them in 2 to 3 weeks) I have a case manager at cigna (my insurance company) and she called them the same thing.
