Talk:Terbutaline

It is important to note that the use of Terbutaline as a treatment for premature labor management is an off-label use not approved by the FDA. Several recent studies at Duke University have actually suggested that Terbutaline is a developental neurotoxicant and may cause brain damage to the infant, and lead to significant behavioral and cognitive problems for the child later in life. (J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 2004 Feb;308(2):529-37. Epub 2003 Nov 10.)\
 * It's also a category B medication meaning it has been studied and used extensively.  it's prevalent use without significant human studies confirming any problems would be undue weight to include the single study on rats in this article.  --DHeyward 03:21, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Edit for yeast infection was deleted? Says it was nonsense because thats only with steroids, but Im quite sure that Bricanyl/Terbutaline does contains small amounts of steroids.


 * The official SPC in Norway does not mention any other active ingredients than terbutaline itself.
 * Nor would it make any sense to include steroids in a medication primarily intended for symptomatic use; steroids should be taken at regular intervals for long-term effect. The only combined &beta;2-agonist/corticosteroid I know of, is Symbicort. Zuiram 01:48, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Advair is another combination medication71.249.24.210 (talk) 13:25, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Advair being brand of Fluticasone/salmeterol. The point of these two combination is that they use Long acting beta-adrenoceptor agonists aging around 12 hours of prolonged symprtomatic effect and coinciding with twice daily dosaging for preventative steroid use. Patients are free to still take the short acting beta-adrenoceptor agonist if required. David Ruben Talk 19:23, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Changed half-life elimination to 11-16, which is what UpToDate says. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DopersWin (talk • contribs) 06:11, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
