Nifedipine, Terbutaline, and Indomethacin are used for tocolysis, which is the process of delaying preterm labor. Nifedipine is a calcium channel blocker, Terbutaline is a beta agonist, and Indomethacin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), all of which can relax the uterus and delay labor. Dinoprostone and Misoprostol, on the other hand, are used to induce labor.
