Brethine - Terbutaline

Examples of sympathomimetic bronchodilators include albuterol (Ventolin), epinephrine (Adrenalin), salme-terol (Serevent), and terbutaline (Brethine). Many of the sympathomimetics used as bronchodilators have die subclassification of beta-2 ((32) receptor agonists (eg, albuterol, salmeterol, and terbutaline). Additional information concerning the various sympathomimetic dragp is given in the Summary Drug Table Bronchodilators. [Pg.334]

Terbutaline (Brethine, Bricanyl) is a relatively specific P2-adrenoceptor agonist (see Chapters 10 and 39). Terbutaline can prevent premature labor, especially in individuals who are more than 20 weeks into gestation and have no indication of ruptured fetal membranes or in whom labor is not far advanced. Its effectiveness in premature labor after 33 weeks of gestation is much less clear. Terbutaline can decrease the frequency, intensity, and duration of uterine contractions through its ability to directly stimulate Pj-adrenoceptors. While it appears to be especially selective for P2-receptor activation, terbutaUne does have some Pi activity as well. [Pg.720]

The uterus contains both alpha- and beta2-adrenergic-receptor sites. Stimulation of the alpha-receptor site causes contraction stimulation of the beta2-receptor site causes relaxation. Therefore, beta2-receptor agonists such as rito-drine hydrochloride (Yutopar) and terbutaline sulfate (Brethine) are used to suppress premature labor. [Pg.535]

Terbutaline is a p2-selective bronchodilator that contains a resorcinol ring and thus is not a substrate for COMT. It is effective when taken orally, subcutaneously, or by inhalation. Effects are observed rapidly after inhalation or parenteral administration after inhalation, its action may persist for 3-6 hours. With oral administration, the onset of effect may be delayed for 1—2 hours. Terbutaline (brethine, others) is used for the long-term treatment of obstructive airway diseases and acute bronchospasm a parenteral formulation is used for the emergency treatment of status asthmaticus (see Chapter 27). [Pg.160]
