Duvadilan (Isoxsuprine)

I went to my ob yesterday because i was having mild contractions (i am 26 weeks and 2 days). After the examination (ultrasound and ie), she said i had an infection (i use napkin because when i cough or sneeze i pee a little). I was given vaginal suppository and isoxsuprine and was told the latter was to avoid preterm labor. My question is if its supposed to avoid preterm labor, why am i having contractions? Although the difference between contractions aren't close, it still worries me. Can anyone here help me? I've already sent a msg to my OB and she hasn't answered yet. TIA

Same case. Mild contractions, vaginal infection plus diagnosed with placenta previa (lining of the placenta is on top of the cervix) same thing din prescribed sakin OB ko suppository and isoxuprine. Iniiwasan kasi mag tuloy tuloy ung contractions mo kasi pwedeng bumukas agad ung cervix mo and you dont want that lalo na kung hindi pa full term si baby mo. Iam on my 34th week right now and OB advised me to keep on taking isoxuprine parin lalo na kung malala ung contractions ko. (yung tipong hindi ko na kinakaya) kasi hindi pa sya full term. Unless we reached 37 weeks na. Nothing to worry atleast mabusisi ang OB mo
