INDICES -  Neoton and Nimodipine
______________________________

Dear Natalia,

The Cochraine Colaboration did a review in 1995 on Calcium channel 
blockers in potential impaired foetal growth Author Gulmezoglu AM et 
al.(I can post you a copy if you remind me of your address).  

They 
also have in their library a paper from the 10th world congress - 
International Society for the Study of Hypertension in Pregnancy Aug 
4-6 1996 Seattle Washington  Entitled Intravenous nimodipine in the 
management of severe pre eclampsia : a double blind randomised 
controlled trial  Author  Belfort M et al (they may be able to send 
you a copy).  

I also have available 3 references
The haemodynamic & respiratory effects of IV nimodipine used in the 
treatment of eclampsia. Anthony J et al.  Br J Obstet Gynaecol 1996: 
103(6):  518-22

The use of nimodipine in a patient with eclampsia: colour flow dopler 
demonstration of retinal artery relaxation  Belfort M  et al  Am J 
Obstet Gynaecol  1993 ;169(1):  204-6

Widespread cerebral ischaemia treated with nimodipine in a patient 
with eclampsia  Horne e et al  BMJ 1990; 301(6755:) 794.

There is also a 4th article which I do not have easy access to which 
is Nimodipine in the management of preeclampsia: maternal & foetal 
effects.  Am J Obstst Gynecol 1994: 171 (2): 417-24
Comments in Am J Obstet Gynecol 1995 may; 172(5): 1652-4 and Jul; 
173(1):349.

Hope this is useful.  If you would like any thing sent by post please 
let me know your address and I will sent it out immediately
