Pharmacokinetics of terbutaline therapy.
Terbutaline is widely used in respiratory medicine, in obstetrics and to some extent in cardiovascular medicine. The growing use of the drug has increased the need of pharmacokinetic information to design and optimize therapy. The clinical pharmacokinetics of terbutaline are briefly reviewed and discussed with special consideration given to therapeutic plasma concentration, bioavailability, volume of distribution, clearance and half-life of elimination.
