SUMMARY
We describe the case of a pregnant woman with preterm labor who suffers an acute non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema in relation to the administration of the tocolytic agent atosiban. This side effect is rare and there are few cases described in the literature.
The answer to the withdrawal of atosiban and the administration of furosemide at early stages, prevents fatal consequences in pregnant patients with preterm labor.
It is important the role of the Pharmacy Service in these types of situations, making known serious adverse effect among interconsultations serving specialties of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, because an early diagnosis of the entity will identify the responsible drug, suspend it and establish early diuretic therapy, achieving a favorable outcome.
Key Words: Pulmonary edema, preterm labor, atosiban, pregnant.
