Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This trial will consist of two parts:

A pilot study in a three-way cross over trial to determine the highest well tolerated dose of Ritodrine (Pre-Par®), the impact of Atosiban (Tractocile®) on the hemodynamics and hence the design of the final study.

The final study is planned as a three-way crossover trial to investigate and compare the cardiovascular effects of Ritodrine, Atosiban and placebo to relate those effects to the pharmacokinetics of Ritodrine and Atosiban (PK/PD modelling).
