              Black Box Warnings

              Risk of serious adverse events outweighs potential benefit to pregnant women receiving prlonged treatment with terbutaline injection (ie, >48-72 hr), or acute or prolonged treatment with oral terbutaline

              Oral terbutaline should not be used for prevention or any treatment of preterm labor because efficacy has not been established and safety concerns similar to IV administration exist

              Death and serious adverse reactions have been reported following prolonged administration of oral or injectable terbutaline to pregnant women

              Serious events following prolonged use include tachycardia, transient hyperglycemia, hypokalemia, arrhythmias, pulmonary edema, and myocardial ischemia

              Contraindications

              Hypersensitivity to sympathomimetics

              Use >72 hr in management or prevention of preterm labor

              History of seizures

              History of cardiac disease, including ischemic heart disease or associated arrhythmias

              Paradoxical bronchoconstriction may occur with excessive use

              Fatalities reported with excessive use of sympathomimetics

              Optimize anti-inflammatory treatment prior to administering terbutaline for asthma therapy

              Beta-2 agonists may increase serum glucose; use caution in patients with diabetes mellitus

              Use caution in glaucoma, hyperthyroidism, seizure disorders, and hypokalemia

              Pregnancy & Lactation

              Pregnancy Category: C

              Lactation: Distributed into breast milk, but in amounts generally considered insufficient to affect nursing infants (AAP Committee states compatible with nursing)

              Pregnancy Categories

              A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.

              B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk.

              C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done.

              D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk.

              X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist.

              NA: Information not available.

              TERBUTALINE - ORAL

              (ter-BYOO-ta-leen)

              COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Brethine

              WARNING: Terbutaline should not be used to prevent or treat early labor, since it has risks to the mother that are greater than the benefits. Serious (sometimes fatal) side effects have rarely occurred in mothers taking terbutaline during labor, such as chest pain, fast/irregular heartbeats, and trouble breathing. If you are pregnant or become pregnant and are taking terbutaline for another medical condition (such as asthma), talk to your doctor or pharmacist about whether terbutaline is still right for you.

              USES: Terbutaline is used to treat wheezing and shortness of breath from lung problems (such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchitis and emphysema). Controlling these symptoms can decrease time lost from work or school. Terbutaline belongs to a class of drugs known as bronchodilators. It works by relaxing the muscles around the airways so that they open up and you can breathe more easily.
