The normal body temperature is 37 degrees Celsius or 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Our core temperature - that is, the deep internal temperature of the body-must be kept within a range of 96 to 101 degrees. Any temperature outside of that range spells trouble.
Indomethacin is a prescription medicine used to treat pain, inflammation, fever, swelling, stiffness, or a combination of these. It is marketed under brand names Indocin Â® , Indomethacin capsules, Indomethacin oral suspension, and Indomethacin suppositories.
Background: Indomethacin is frequently used as a tocolytic, however there is currently only scant evidence to support its efficacy. Goals: To delay preterm delivery by 48 hours and to examine longer latency periods and maternal and neonatal outcomes Methods: Randomized placebo-controlled trial of indomethacin for tocolysis. Women with a singleton pregnancy between 23w0d and 31w6d in preterm labor randomly assigned to 50mg indomethacin by mouth followed by 25mg by mouth every 6hour for 48 hours or placebo. Patients receive betamethasone for fetal lung maturity, if not previously administered, and magnesium sulfate for neuroprotection.
