...t-acting, long-acting, and ultra-long-acting drugs. Some FDA-approved short-acting B2 agonists (SABAs) are albuterol, levalbuterol, metaprotereno terbutaline, and they are prescribed for bronchospasm caused by COPD, bronchial asthma, or emphysema. Some SABAs have off-label uses; albuterol is used in the treatment of hyperkalemia, and terbutaline Beta2 Receptor Agonists and Antagonists

can have cardiac side effects such as elevated cardiac enzymes and arrhythmias although this is usually seen after several hours of continuous infusion.
Tocolysis
Historically, ritodrine and terbutaline had been approved for maintenance tocolysis.
Beta2-Agonists
The tocolytic terbutaline can also be given IV, IM, or orally.
Pediatric Bronchospasm
In this setting, an intravenous beta-2 agonist, terbutaline, can be used.
Stuttering Priapism
The proposed prophylactic dose of terbutaline is 5 to 10 mg daily.
Asthma Medication in Children
Medications, Biologics, and Immunotherapy for Pediatric Asthma Short-acting beta-2 agonists (SABA): Albuterol (salbutamol), levalbuterol, and terbutaline are used as quick relief therapy or rescue therapy to ease symptoms as they reverse bronchoconstriction.
External Cephalic Version
Evidence supports the use of parenteral tocolysis, most often with the beta-2-agonist medication terbutaline, to improve the success of ECV; most studies evaluating the various aspects of ECV aspects include using a tocolytic agent.
Beta2 Receptor Agonists and Antagonists
Some SABAs have off-label uses; albuterol is used in the treatment of hyperkalemia, and terbutaline is administered to postpone preterm labor and manage vascular extravasation.
Priapism
is no longer recommended in the treatment of priapism.
Status Asthmaticus
Subcutaneous epinephrine and terbutaline have been used in the past but have fallen out of favor due to these drugs' toxic effects.
