4 Drug and Medication Information
4.1 Drug Indication

For the treatment and prophylaxis of premature labour


5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Beta-2 adrenergic receptors are located at sympathetic neuroeffector junctions of many organs, including uterus. Ritodrine is beta-2 adrenergic agonist. It stimulates beta-2 adrenergic receptor, increases cAMP level and decreases intracellular calcium concentration. The decrease of calcium concentration leads to a relaxation of uterine smooth muscle and, therefore, a decrease in premature uterine contractions.


5.2 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Sympathomimetics

Drugs that mimic the effects of stimulating postganglionic adrenergic sympathetic nerves. Included here are drugs that directly stimulate adrenergic receptors and drugs that act indirectly by provoking the release of adrenergic transmitters. (See all compounds classified as Sympathomimetics.)


Adrenergic beta-2 Receptor Agonists

Compounds bind to and activate ADRENERGIC BETA-2 RECEPTORS. (See all compounds classified as Adrenergic beta-2 Receptor Agonists.)


Tocolytic Agents

Drugs that prevent preterm labor and immature birth by suppressing uterine contractions (TOCOLYSIS). Agents used to delay premature uterine activity include magnesium sulfate, beta-mimetics, oxytocin antagonists, calcium channel inhibitors, and adrenergic beta-receptor agonists. The use of intravenous alcohol as a tocolytic is now obsolete. (See all compounds classified as Tocolytic Agents.)


5.3 ATC Code

G - Genito urinary system and sex hormones

G02 - Other gynecologicals

G02C - Other gynecologicals

G02CA - Sympathomimetics, labour repressants

G02CA01 - Ritodrine


5.4 Metabolism/Metabolites

Hepatic, by both the mother and fetus


5.5 Biological Half-Life

1.7-2.6 hours


5.6 Mechanism of Action

Ritodrine is beta-2 adrenergic agonist. It binds to beta-2 adrenergic receptors on outer membrane of myometrial cell, activates adenyl cyclase to increase the level of cAMP which decreases intracellular calcium and leads to a decrease of uterine contractions.
