Terbutaline

Terbutaline linked to birth defects

Terbutaline was marketed as a treatment for asthma, bronchitis and emphysema, but some healthcare providers have used the drug for “off-label” treatment during preterm labor. Unfortunately, Terbutaline used during pregnancy can increase risk of birth injuries.

If you or a loved one suffered any adverse side effects related to Terbutaline, you may be entitled to compensation. Don’t hesitate to contact a Terbutaline lawyer in Oklahoma to learn about your rights. Call Hansen Dirani & Associates Law Offices: 877-583-0700.

Types of Terbutaline birth injuries

Terbutaline birth injuries include the following:

• Brain damage
• Cognitive and neuropsychiatric disorders
• Autism
• Speech and movement defects
• Death

Maternal heart problems also have been reported among Terbutaline users during preterm labor. The FDA warns that “off-label” use is "not approved and may cause harm to the mother and/or the fetus".

The FDA is now requiring its strongest warning on the drug and has notified healthcare providers that Terbutaline should not be used on pregnant women.
