Mothers who were administered terbutaline during preterm labor can experience many long term adverse side effects.
A mother may experience general heart and lung problems, including:
- increased heart rate
- jitteriness
- nervousness
- tremors (especially in your hand)
Other possible effects on a mother who was given terbutaline may include:
- dizziness
- headaches
- heightened blood sugar levels
- nausea
- irregular heartbeat (cardiac or cardiopulmonary arrhythmias)
- pounding heart and/or rapid heartbeat (tachycardia)
Potentially severe side effects a mother may experience, although rare, include:
- angina
- low blood calcium
- low blood potassium
- severe low blood pressure
- seizures
If you have experienced any of these symptoms after being exposed to terbutaline during pregnancy, your baby also may be at risk for serious side effects such as birth defects, brain damage, developmental delay, and other side effects such as autism, speech defects, and movement disorders.
If you were prescribed terbutaline (also known as Brethine or Bricanyl) for preterm labor, and you or your child is suffering from any of the side effects described above, please call or email us to schedule a free terbutaline injury consultation.
