Terbutaline is a relatively selective beta2-adrenergic bronchodilator that has little or no effect on alpha-adrenergic receptors. The drug has exerts a preferential effect on beta2-adrenergic receptors but stimulates beta-adrenergic receptors less selectively than relatively selective beta2-agonists. Terbutaline appears to have a greater stimulating effect on beta-receptors of the bronchial, vascular, and uterine smooth muscles (beta2 receptors) than on the beta-receptors of the heart (beta1 receptors). This drug relaxes smooth muscle and inhibits uterine contractions, but may also cause some cardiostimulatory effects and CNS stimulation.
- Mechanism of action
The pharmacologic effects of terbutaline are at least in part attributable to stimulation through beta-adrenergic receptors of intracellular adenyl cyclase, the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to cyclic- 3',5'- adenosine monophosphate (c-AMP). Increased c-AMP levels are associated with relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle and inhibition of release of mediators of immediate hypersensitivity from cells, especially from mast cells.

A 0.5 mg subcutaneous dose of terbutaline reaches a mean Cmax of 9.6 ± ng/mL, with a median Tmax of 0.5 hours, and a mean AUC of 29.4 ± 14.2 h*ng/mL.11 A 5 mg oral terbutaline tablet reaches a mean Cmax of 8.3 ± 3.9 ng/mL with a median Tmax of 2 hours, and a mean AUC of 54.6 ± 26.8 h*ng/mL.12 A 5 mg oral terbutaline solution reaches a mean Cmax of 8.6 ± 3.6 ng/mL, with a median Tmax of 1.5 hours, and a mean AUC of 53.1 ± 23.5 h*ng/mL.12
Oral terbutaline has an oral bioavailability of 14-15%.8
- Volume of distribution
Terbutaline has a mean volume of distribution of 1.6 L/kg.8
- Protein binding
- Not Available
- Metabolism
Terbutaline is sulphated or glucuronidated prior to elimination.4,5,6
- Route of elimination
An oral dose of terbutaline is 40% eliminated in the urine after 72 hours.6 The major metabolite in the urine was the sulphate conjugated form of terbutaline.6 Parenteral doses of terbutaline are 90% eliminated in the urine, with approximately 2/3 as the unchanged parent drug.7 Less than 1% of a dose of terbutaline is eliminated in the feces.7
- Half-life
An oral dose of terbutaline has an elimination half life of 3.4 hours,12 while a subcutaneous dose has an elimination half life of 2.9 hours.11
- Clearance
The average clearance of terbutaline is 3.0 mL/min/kg.8
