Around one-third of preterm deliveries start with preterm pre-labor rupture of membranes (PPROM). Objective: To assess the value of Nifedipine to change the perinatal outcome in cases of preterm pre-labor rupture of membranes. Patients and methods: This was a randomized, controlled study that included and followed 200 pregnant women.

Results: In this randomized clinical trial among women with PPROM without contractions, we found no significant differences between treatment with nifedipine or placebo in terms of perinatal outcomes and prolongation of pregnancy.
