Question 2

can you get  'high' from terbutaline?

Accepted Answer

Not really.: Terbutaline is prescribed for asthma and preterm uterine contractions; it leads to tachycardia and may thus cause a sense of palpiations, anxiety, nervousness, restlessness and even panic attcks in some individuals. It has not been reported to lead to euphoria.

Question 3

what are the effect of terbutaline on a newborn?

Accepted Answer

None significant.: If you are asking because you received terbutaline just before your emergency cesarean section, rest assured that its effects on the fetus/neonate are mild and none are significant. Namely, terbutaline causes the heart rate to increase for about 10-15 minutes, dilates the airways (good effect) and is typically used to relax the uterus so that the fetus' brain gets enough oxygen until delivery.

Question 4

what are the side effects of brethine (terbutaline) as an infant?

Accepted Answer

Temporary: Brethine (terbutaline) was once used for asthma, but is now more commonly used in late pregnancy to stop preterm contractions. Should not be given to infants/kids. Wears off quickly, so if used to stop labor & labor doesn't stop, by time baby is born med has worn off. In anyone of any age, the most common side effect of terbutaline is brief spell of feeling flushed, fast heart rate or jitteriness.

are there any side effects to using a bricanyl (terbutaline) turbuhaler?

Accepted Answer

Inhaler: Read the information the pharmacist gave you. It should have all the information you need. All meds have side effects in some.

Question 6

if i take overdose of terbutaline sulphate does it get reflected in echocardiography?

Accepted Answer

Overdose?!: The important answer i need is why did you do that?  Intentional or accidental?  Terbutaline can have serious side effects with normal dosing let alone in excess.  The echocardiographic evidence would not necessarily be specific to the drug but could reflect any arrythmias that may develop.  If you just did this i recommend you head to a local ed or call 911.

Question 7

i know terbutaline is usually given sc in the deltoid. can it be safely given in other areas such as sc in the thigh?

Accepted Answer

If it is given: where a large muscle mass is present or the circulation to the subcutaneous tissue is interfered with by FATTY tissue the absorbtion might be delayed as well as the dose actually "delivered" be reduced. ANSWER YES BUT......not as effective 
My Opinion Only
Hope it's helpful
