Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate and compare the effects of drotaverine and valethamate on cervical dilatation. METHODS: This was a prospective study conducted in a tertiary center over a span of 6 months. 90 patients were randomly allotted in 3 groups. 1. 30 patients (15 primigravida and 15 multigravida)- control group 2. 30 patients (15 primigravida and 15 multigravida) – Injection Drotaverine 3. 30 patients (15 primigravida and 15 multigravida) – Injection Valethamate The drotaverine (D) and valethamate (V) groups were given intravenously 40 mg drotaverine hydrochloride to group D with every 2 hours for a maximum of 3 doses 8 mg valethamate bromide to group V with maximum of 3 doses one hour apart. The control group given 2ml inj. normal saline intravenously as placebo. RESULTS: In primigravidae and multigravidae the average duration of active phase is shortened by 3 hours with 2.9+1cm/ hour cervical dilatation in drotaverine group and 1 hour 45 minutes with 1.9+1.1cm/hour in valethamate group (p-value <0.05). There was no significant difference in the duration of second and third stages in both groups. No obstetrical complications or major side effects observed in both groups. CONCLUSION: Drotaverine accelerates labor better than of valethamae. The reduction of pain during labor is better with drotaverine when compared with valethamate.
