| 5 | pre-term labor | Yes, it causes the shakes, but it also calmed the contractions and slowed dialation...my baby held on til 34 weeks. This med is a real God send! | My first son is now 25 years old and he has no developmental problems from the long term use while I was pregnant. I took it every 2 hours around the clock. I now take it for severe asthma and it just cannot be matched for me....it saved my sons' lives, yes two sons, and has also saved my life. | F | 42 | 4 months 2.5mg 2X O | 5/25/2013 | 3 | pre-tern labor | Very jittery and shakey, I could tell the baby was similarly effected by this drug. The brethine did stop contractions, but I feel the risks may outway the benefits. | I am very concerned that my son, now 5, may be adhd...and this may be linked to my use of this drug (as directed by my OB/GYN)..I am not happy that I did not have all the information that I needed before making an intelligent choice to take this for pre-term labor... | F | 34 | ? 2X day | 8/22/2010 | 1 | preterm contractions | Jittery, anxious, and wanting to grind teeth. Feels like a panic attack that lasts for hours. Worst side effects I've ever had from any medicine. I hate to think how baby feels | HATE IT! They should use this for torture/interrogation... it's THAT bad | F | 30 | 7 days | 5/10/2009 | 2 | stop contractions | jittery, shakey, nervous, mean, bit the whole left side of my cheek to pieces. Gross!!!! | hate it!!!! | F | 38 | 2 days | 9/26/2008 | 3 | To stop contractions/pre-term labor | Extreme jitters and shakiness. I can't hold a book or magazine to read because I shake so much, affects my typing accuracy/ability at times, very restless, etc. | I am on several other prescription drugs including Valtrex (500 mgs daily) and Lamictal for seizure disorder (currently on 50 mgs..just started this one a little over 2 weeks ago). Currently 31 weeks pregnant with second child. | F | 27 | 7 days | 11/18/2007 |
BRETHINE (TERBUTALINE SULFATE): Terbutaline is used to treat wheezing and shortness of breath from lung problems (e.g., asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchitis and emphysema). Controlling these symptoms can decrease time lost from work or school. Terbutaline is a bronchodilator (beta-2 receptor agonist) that works by opening breathing passages to make breathing easier.
