• Dizziness and Headache: Some users may experience dizziness, headaches, or lightheadedness.
• Nausea: May cause mild nausea or upset stomach.
• Muscle Cramps: Occasionally, muscle cramps or spasms may occur.

Precautions:

• Heart Conditions: Caution is advised for people with heart conditions, high blood pressure, or arrhythmias, as terbutaline can stimulate the heart and raise blood pressure.
• Diabetes: Terbutaline may raise blood sugar levels, so diabetics should monitor their levels closely.
• Avoid Overuse: Overuse of bronchodilators like terbutaline can lead to a decrease in effectiveness and an increased risk of side effects.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Use during pregnancy, especially for preterm labor, should be under strict medical supervision. Consult a doctor if breastfeeding.
• Medication Interactions: Inform your doctor of any other medications you are taking, particularly beta-blockers, as they can interfere with terbutaline’s effects.
