There were 28 patients in lytic cocktail group, 16 in diazepam group, 16 in magnesium sulphate group and 40 patients in phenytoin sodium group. The results are compared in every aspect. Feto maternal outcome is best with magnesium sulphate regime followed by phenytoin sodium regime. They produce significantly better results than lytic cocktail and diazepam.
