How can Eclampsia be Treated? |

Prevention of convulsions - Seizures can be controlled with anticonvulsant medications. Magnesium sulfate is a safe drug that can be used during pregnancy. Controlling the elevated blood pressure - The doctor may prescribe medication to lower the high blood pressure. However, if the blood pressure remains consistently high, delivery may be needed. Delivery - Delivery is the treatment of choice for severe preeclampsia to prevent eclampsia. Prolonging the pregnancy can be dangerous to the mother and the baby. The goal is to manage severe preeclampsia until 32-34 weeks of pregnancy, and mild preeclampsia until 36-37 weeks. This helps reduce complications from premature delivery. |
