Terbutaline hemisulfate has been used as a reference standard for the determination of β agonist residues in meat4. It has also been used as a standard for developing LC-MS-MS based techniques for the analysis of veterinary drugs5.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Terbutaline is a β-adrenoceptor agonist and is known to function as a bronchodilator. Studies have reported that terbutaline is potent inhibitor of premature labor6.

Terbutaline, a β2-adrenoceptor agonist, is used off-label for long-term management of preterm labor; such use is associated with increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism spectrum disorders. We explored the mechanisms underlying terbutaline's effects on development of peripheral sympathetic projections

Some women who have threatened to give birth prematurely, subsequently settle. They may then take oral tocolytic maintenance therapy to prevent preterm birth and to prolong gestation. To assess the effects of oral betamimetic maintenance therapy after threatened preterm labour

The effect of terbutaline, a "selective" beta2-receptor stimulator, was compared with that of placebo in 30 patients in premature labor. Treatment consisted of an intravenous infusion for at least 8 hours, and then of subcutaneous injections four times daily for

This study aimed to investigate the effects on a possible improvement in aerobic and anaerobic performance of oral terbutaline (TER) at a supra-therapeutic dose in 7 healthy competitive male athletes. On day 1, ventilatory threshold, maximum oxygen uptake [Formula: see
To evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of budesonide/formoterol as maintenance and reliever therapy versus budesonide/formoterol maintenance plus terbutaline in adults with persistent asthma not adequately controlled with inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) therapy alone. In this 12-month, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, phase III
