4.2 Drug Indication

Terbutaline is indicated for prevention and reversal of bronchospasm in patients at least 12 years old, with asthma and reversible bronchospasm associated with bronchitis and emphysema.


5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Terbutaline is a beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonist indicated to treat reversibly bronchospasm in asthmatic patients with bronchitis and emphysema. It has a short duration as the inhaled form is taken up to three times daily, and the therapeutic window is wide.


5.2 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Bronchodilator Agents

Agents that cause an increase in the expansion of a bronchus or bronchial tubes. (See all compounds classified as Bronchodilator Agents.)


Adrenergic beta-2 Receptor Agonists

Compounds bind to and activate ADRENERGIC BETA-2 RECEPTORS. (See all compounds classified as Adrenergic beta-2 Receptor Agonists.)


Sympathomimetics

Drugs that mimic the effects of stimulating postganglionic adrenergic sympathetic nerves. Included here are drugs that directly stimulate adrenergic receptors and drugs that act indirectly by provoking the release of adrenergic transmitters. (See all compounds classified as Sympathomimetics.)


Tocolytic Agents

Drugs that prevent preterm labor and immature birth by suppressing uterine contractions (TOCOLYSIS). Agents used to delay premature uterine activity include magnesium sulfate, beta-mimetics, oxytocin antagonists, calcium channel inhibitors, and adrenergic beta-receptor agonists. The use of intravenous alcohol as a tocolytic is now obsolete. (See all compounds classified as Tocolytic Agents.)

5.4 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

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. 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. 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. Oral terbutaline has an oral bioavailability of 14-15%.


Route of Elimination

An oral dose of terbutaline is 40% eliminated in the urine after 72 hours. The major metabolite in the urine was the sulphate conjugated form of terbutaline. Parenteral doses of terbutaline are 90% eliminated in the urine, with approximately 2/3 as the unchanged parent drug. Less than 1% of a dose of terbutaline is eliminated in the feces.


Volume of Distribution

Terbutaline has a mean volume of distribution of 1.6 L/kg.


Clearance

The average clearance of terbutaline is 3.0 mL/min/kg.


5.5 Metabolism/Metabolites

Terbutaline is sulphated or glucuronidated prior to elimination.


5.6 Biological Half-Life

An oral dose of terbutaline has an elimination half life of 3.4 hours, while a subcutaneous dose has an elimination half life of 2.9 hours.


5.7 Mechanism of Action

Terbutaline is a selective beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonist. Agonism of these receptors in bronchioles activates adenylyl cyclase, increasing intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). Increased cAMP decreases intracellular calcium, activating protein kinase A, inactivating myosin light-chain kinase, activating myosin light-chain phosphatase, and finally relaxing smooth muscle in the bronchiole.
