Abstract

Daily supplementation with 1.5-2 g calcium is the only known effective method of non-medical prevention of pre-eclampsia. Data concerning the role of bed rest for prevention of this condition are still controversial. Fish oil and magnesium supplements have proved ineffective in clinical trials. Dietary salt restriction is not acceptable in view of its possible adverse effects.
