Terbutaline

What Studies Show

Terbutaline has been found to be effective in some studies in preventing labor for 24-48 hrs. but those same studies have determined its effectiveness to be no greater than that of a placebo after that period. Even so, it has been determined to effectively reduce pre-term labor risk in other studies. Several situational instances also exist in which physicians and/or expectant mothers attest to the drug’s effectiveness.

Also, risks to the unborn child have been determined to be present. Studies show that a likelihood of future disorders exists for the child in the form of an increased susceptibility to other chemicals present in the environment. The same study suggests that chances of contracting some illnesses are greatly increased because of exposure to chemicals like Terbutaline during early development.
