o compare the effects of Magnesium sulphate regimens – Dhaka regimen with Pritchard regimen. The efficacy of controlling convulsions , In preventing recurrent convulsions, The incidence of complications Materials and Methods: The present study was conducted in 50 patients with antepartum eclampsia were recruited. Patients were divided into two groups of 25 each, Group A comprising of 25 patients who were given the Dhaka regimen, Group B comprising of 25 patients who were given the Pritchard regimen.

In the present study there was no significant difference in past history of eclampsia/ preeclampsia was observed between the two regimen groups In the present study it was observed that in both the groups majority of patients were admitted between 0 – 6 hrs Dhaka regimen (88%), pritchard (84%), there was no significant difference in mean convulsion to admission interval in either groups p >0.05. Maintainence dose of MgsO4 was given when patellar reflex was present, respiratory rate> 12/min, urine output the previous 1hr exceeding 30 ml .In the present study it was observed that the toxic levels of Magnesium reached earlier in Pritchard whereas in Dhaka it was not the same.
