What is Terbutaline?
Terbutaline is a generic prescription drug that opens airways closed or tightened by asthma, bronchitis, or emphysema. Terbutaline is also often administered to stop contractions in pregnant women with preterm (before 37 weeks) contractions.
Terbutaline, when it is absorbed into the lung's tissues, locks on to a chemical “switch” on the smooth muscles in the lung that then causes them to relax. This widens airways and makes breathing easier. Terbutaline acts in the same way in the uterus. It attaches to muscles in the uterus and causes them to relax.
Terbutaline is administered as a tablet, injection, or aerosol (metered-dose inhaler) depending on the underlying condition and its severity.
