Introduction: Preterm births (before 37 completed week gestation) account for approxi-mately 5-10% of births and are the major cause of perinatal mortality in North America and Europe. This is largely because of a lack of standard treatments for this problem, therefore, the aim of this study was to compare glyceryl trinitrate with magnesium sulfate for their ability to suppress preterm labor. Results: Mean duration of pregnancy prolongation was 14.87 days in the case group (min: 11 max: 59.38 SD: 14.28) and 13.44 days in the control group (min: 26 max: 36.63 SD: 14.77). There was no significant difference in the prolongation of pregnancy between glyceryl trinitrate and magnesium sulfate (P<0.05). Conclusion: Glyceryl trinitrate is a suitable substitute for magnesium sulfate in the suppres-sion of preterm labor.
