The management of pre‐eclampsia and eclampsia with chlormethiazole is reviwed. Chlromethiazole, magnesium sulphate and benzodiazepines were found to be easy to administer, rapidly acting and effective in controlling convulsions. Respiratory depression in the fetus was found to be shorter lived when using chlormethiazole than the other two treatments.
