Terbutaline

Uses of Terbutaline

Terbutaline is commonly used in the treatment of Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

How Terbutaline Works

Terbutaline is a beta-adrenergic receptor blocker. Terbutaline stimulates the enzyme that catalyses the production of cyclic-3’, 5’-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). As a result, there is a relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle. On the other hand, terbutaline also inhibits the release of mediators of immediate hypersensitivity from mast cells which in turn reducing the symptoms of asthma.

Side Effects of Terbutaline

Tachycardia, Tremors, Anxiety, Palpitation, Dizziness, Headache, Nausea and vomiting, Fatigue, Sweating, Chest discomfort, Muscle cramps

Information About Terbutaline

Terbutaline is a selective beta-2 adrenoceptor agonist used to treat bronchospasm in asthma and COPD, and uterine tocolysis in preterm labour in Singapore. Available as a 2.5mg–5mg oral tablet, nebuliser solution, or subcutaneous injection depending on indication, it is HSA-registered and available on prescription only in Singapore. Its oral form has significantly lower bioavailability than inhaled salbutamol but provides sustained systemic bronchodilation beneficial in severe nocturnal asthma — parenteral terbutaline for tocolysis requires cardiovascular monitoring due to significant maternal tachycardia risk.
