b) Mgsulfate.
UW says FDA approves ritodrine and at the same time says ritodrine is second line and first line is Mgsulfate though FDA doesnt approve....?? cant make out whats going on...

I think the answer would depend on the pt's clinical presentation. if pt. has renal insuff then use ritodrine, if pt. has heart dse, dm or uncontrolled hyperthyroidism use mg Sulfate.
I hope that answers your q. You're right ritodrine is FDA approved.
