Terbutaline, the Glossary

Terbutaline, sold under the brand names Bricanyl and Marex among others, is a β2 adrenergic receptor agonist, used as a "reliever" inhaler in the management of asthma symptoms and as a tocolytic (anti-contraction medication) to delay preterm labor for up to 48 hours.^[1]

Acetophenone

Acetophenone is the organic compound with the formula C6H5C(O)CH3.

See Terbutaline and Acetophenone

Anxiety

Anxiety is an emotion which is characterised by an unpleasant state of inner turmoil and includes feelings of dread over anticipated events.

See Terbutaline and Anxiety

Asthma

Asthma is a long-term inflammatory disease of the airways of the lungs.

See Terbutaline and Asthma

Benzyl group

In organic chemistry, benzyl is the substituent or molecular fragment possessing the structure.

See Terbutaline and Benzyl group

Beta-2 adrenergic receptor

The beta-2 adrenergic receptor (β2 adrenoreceptor), also known as ADRB2, is a cell membrane-spanning beta-adrenergic receptor that binds epinephrine (adrenaline), a hormone and neurotransmitter whose signaling, via adenylate cyclase stimulation through trimeric Gs proteins, increases cAMP, and, via downstream L-type calcium channel interaction, mediates physiologic responses such as smooth muscle relaxation and bronchodilation.

See Terbutaline and Beta-2 adrenergic receptor

Beta2-adrenergic agonist

Beta2-adrenergic agonists, also known as adrenergic β2 receptor agonists, are a class of drugs that act on the β2 adrenergic receptor. Terbutaline and Beta2-adrenergic agonist are beta2-adrenergic agonists.

See Terbutaline and Beta2-adrenergic agonist

Bronchodilator

A bronchodilator or broncholytic (although the latter occasionally includes secretory inhibition as well) is a substance that dilates the bronchi and bronchioles, decreasing resistance in the respiratory airway and increasing airflow to the lungs.

See Terbutaline and Bronchodilator

Catechol-O-methyltransferase

Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) is one of several enzymes that degrade catecholamines (neurotransmitters such as dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine), catecholestrogens, and various drugs and substances having a catechol structure.

See Terbutaline and Catechol-O-methyltransferase

Dry-powder inhaler

A dry-powder inhaler (DPI) is a device that delivers medication to the lungs in the form of a dry powder.

See Terbutaline and Dry-powder inhaler

Food and Drug Administration

The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA or US FDA) is a federal agency of the Department of Health and Human Services.

Guaifenesin

Guaifenesin, also known as glyceryl guaiacolate, is an expectorant medication taken by mouth and marketed as an aid to eliminate sputum from the respiratory tract.

See Terbutaline and Guaifenesin

Headache

Headache, also known as cephalalgia, is the symptom of pain in the face, head, or neck.

See Terbutaline and Headache

Hyperglycemia

Hyperglycemia or Hyperglycaemia is a condition in which an excessive amount of glucose circulates in the blood plasma.

See Terbutaline and Hyperglycemia

Hypoglycemia

Hypoglycemia, also called low blood sugar, is a fall in blood sugar to levels below normal, typically below 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L).

See Terbutaline and Hypoglycemia

Hypokalemia

Hypokalemia is a low level of potassium (K+) in the blood serum.

See Terbutaline and Hypokalemia

Hypotension

Hypotension, also known as low blood pressure, is a cardiovascular condition characterized by abnormally reduced blood pressure.

See Terbutaline and Hypotension

Nebulizer

In medicine, a nebulizer (American English) or nebuliser (British English) is a drug delivery device used to administer medication in the form of a mist inhaled into the lungs.

See Terbutaline and Nebulizer

Off-label use

Off-label use is the use of pharmaceutical drugs for an unapproved indication or in an unapproved age group, dosage, or route of administration.

See Terbutaline and Off-label use

Palladium on carbon

Palladium on carbon, often referred to as Pd/C, is a form of palladium used as a catalyst.

See Terbutaline and Palladium on carbon

Pregnancy category

The pregnancy category of a medication is an assessment of the risk of fetal injury due to the pharmaceutical, if it is used as directed by the mother during pregnancy.

See Terbutaline and Pregnancy category

Preterm birth

Preterm birth, also known as premature birth, is the birth of a baby at fewer than 37 weeks gestational age, as opposed to full-term delivery at approximately 40 weeks.

See Terbutaline and Preterm birth

Pulmonary edema

Pulmonary edema (British English: oedema), also known as pulmonary congestion, is excessive fluid accumulation in the tissue or air spaces (usually alveoli) of the lungs.

See Terbutaline and Pulmonary edema

Racemic mixture

In chemistry, a racemic mixture or racemate is one that has equal amounts of left- and right-handed enantiomers of a chiral molecule or salt.

See Terbutaline and Racemic mixture

Solution (chemistry)

In chemistry, a solution is a special type of homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances.

See Terbutaline and Solution (chemistry)

Subcutaneous administration

Subcutaneous administration is the insertion of medications beneath the skin either by injection or infusion.

See Terbutaline and Subcutaneous administration

Tablet (pharmacy)

A tablet (also known as a pill) is a pharmaceutical oral dosage form (oral solid dosage, or OSD) or solid unit dosage form.

See Terbutaline and Tablet (pharmacy)

Tachycardia

Tachycardia, also called tachyarrhythmia, is a heart rate that exceeds the normal resting rate.

See Terbutaline and Tachycardia

Tocolytic

Tocolytics (also called anti-contraction medications or labor suppressants) are medications used to suppress premature labor (from Greek τόκος tókos, "childbirth", and λύσις lúsis, "loosening"). Terbutaline and Tocolytic are Chemical substances for emergency medicine and Tocolytics.
