Comparing two doses of a blood pressure drug during c-section
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests two different doses of phenylephrine, a medicine used to manage blood pressure, in women having a planned cesarean section. It aims to see how each dose affects a common drug given to help the uterus contract after birth.
