The introduction of parenterally administered drugs in the obstetric population encounters many challenges. Such obstacles are imperative, as careless systemic administration of any medication may have a profound effect on both mother and fetus.

It is retained in the placental tissue, thereby resulting in less fetal transfer and a decreased incidence of fetal bradycardia
