Terbutaline 2.5mg Tablet
Terbutaline is a potent bronchodilator belonging to the class of medications known as Beta-2 Adrenergic Agonists. It is primarily used to prevent and treat wheezing, dyspnea, and tightness in the chest due to any lung disease such as Asthma, Chronic Bronchitis, or Emphysema. By relaxing the smooth muscle in the air passages, Terbutaline opens up the blocked airways, which makes breathing much easier in case of respiratory distress.
Key Therapeutic Uses

Maintenance Therapy: thereby managing Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) symptoms over a longer term.
Exercise-Induced Asthma: Can be taken before physical activity to prevent the airways from further narrowing.
Adjunctive Treatment: Many times it is prescribed to act in synergy with inhaled corticosteroids to provide complete respiratory support.

Increase in Air Flow: The “tubes” of the lungs become wider.
*Reducing Resistance-*Reduction of the energy spent in breathing.
*Clearing Mucus-*This assists in elimination of secretary inflow from the respiratory tract, naturally.
