Terbutaline Tablets

How to Order Prescriptions

---

Description

Terbutaline Sulfate relaxes the airways and makes breathing easier. The major use of Terbutaline in pets is in the treatment of bronchial disease such as asthma, tracheobronchitis, collapsing trachea, allergic bronchitis, and certain lung conditions.

For

Dogs and Cats 

Benefits

• Assists breathing in specific airway diseases
• Treats asthma, tracheobronchitis, collapsing trachea, allergic bronchitis, and certain lung conditions
• Is also given for treatment of an abnormally slow heart rate

How it works

Terbutaline Sulfate relaxes the muscles in the bronchi, which causes them to dilate (have a larger opening). This improves airflow and breathing. 

Dosage & Administration

This medication is given orally. Always follow the dosage instructions provided by your veterinarian. If you have difficulty giving the medication, contact your veterinarian. This medication should only be given to the pet for which it was prescribed. 

What should I do if I miss a dose?

If you miss a dose, give it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to the regular schedule. Do not give two doses at once. 

What should I discuss with my veterinarian while considering Terbutaline Sulfate?

Discuss how long the treatment period will be and what type of outcome is expected. You and your veterinarian should talk about any other treatment options that are recommended for your pet. 
Tell your veterinarian if your pet has diabetes, hyperthyroidism, heart disease, a history of seizures, may be pregnant or is nursing, or if you intend to breed your pet. 

Notify your veterinarian of any other medications or supplements your pet is taking, or if your pet has had any reactions to previous medications. 

Possible side effects of Terbutaline

Terbutaline may cause increased heart rate, tremors, nervousness, and dizziness. These effects usually disappear after a short time. If they are severe, persistent, or your pet's condition worsens, contact your veterinarian immediately. 
If your pet experiences an allergic reaction to the medication, signs may include facial swelling, hives, scratching, sudden onset of diarrhea, vomiting, shock, seizures, pale gums, cold limbs, or coma. If you observe any of these signs, contact your veterinarian immediately. 

What should I avoid when giving my pet Terbutaline Sulfate?

Consult your veterinarian before using Terbutaline with any other medications, including vitamins and supplements, antidepressants, or beta-blockers (certain heart medications such as propranolol), since interactions may occur. Digitalis, digoxin, or inhaled anesthetics may increase the risk of abnormal heart rhythms in animals taking Terbutaline.
