What Experts Say

Terbutaline relaxes the muscles around the airways, which widens them and makes breathing easier during an asthma flare or wheezing episode.

It is usually given two to three times daily by mouth, and the dose in children is based on body weight, so it should always follow a doctor's instructions.

It can cause a fast heartbeat or shakiness in some people, especially at higher doses, and these effects usually settle as the body adjusts.
