What Are the Common Ingredients in Terbutaline Sulfate Tablets?

The primary active ingredient in this medication is Terbutaline Sulfate, a beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonist. The inactive ingredients may vary depending on the manufacturer and are designed to support the stability and delivery of the medication.

How Does Terbutaline Sulfate Work?

This medication stimulates beta-2 adrenergic receptors, which are cell targets found in smooth muscle tissues like the airways and blood vessels. Activation of these receptors results in muscle relaxation, enabling improved airflow and oxygen delivery. This mechanism helps alleviate conditions such as bronchospasm caused by allergic reactions, infections, or chronic diseases.

Are There Any Side Effects of Terbutaline Sulfate Tablets?

While generally well-tolerated, some pets may experience side effects, including:

• Increased heart rate (tachycardia)

If you notice any severe or unusual reactions, contact your veterinarian immediately.

What Precautions Should I Take When Using Terbutaline Sulfate?
