y would u give symp to a pregnant lady to stop premature labour.... I don't remember that anything was really effective in accomplishing that...
and in that case, the first three answers are all sympathomimetics, so i would probably guess one of the last two... (prolly E)...

they actually do give B2-agon (Terbutaline/Ritodrine) in 30 min. intervals in case of prematre contractions and if that doesnt resolve other options like Mg,Ca ch.blocker,ethanol come next. (A,C,F are totally irrelevant).
has anyone heard of giving Atropin for this ??
