The use of a modified lytic cocktail regime in the management of eclampsia.

This paper recounts our experience on the use of a modified Lytic-cocktail regime in the management of eclampsia at the University Obstetric Unit, General Hospital, Kandy, Sri Lanka. Our results have been compared with those obtained with the original Lytic-cocktail use by earlier workers and the regime, though studied only in a small series, has proved to be effective. We recommend that our modified Lytic-cocktail regime be widely adopted in the management of eclampsia.
