Summary In search for a new tocolytic agent we investigated felodipine, a calmodulin-antagonizing drug. Felodipine reduced the spontaneous activity of 22 uterine strips taken from the uterus in the course of a cesarean section to 52±12% (mean±SEM) after 10 min, to 20±7% after 20 min and to 12 ±4% after 60 min (P〈0.001).
