Is it allowed to take Terbutaline Sulfate during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

It is excreted into breast milk in clinically non-significant amount and neither clinical nor development problems were observed in infants whose mothers were treated with oral terbutaline.Plasma levels of these infants were undetectable or very low. Preferable preparations are inhaled bronchodilators since <10% of the dose is absorbed. American Academy of Pediatrics: medication usually compatible with breastfeeding.

I took this drug to prevent pre-term labor. I found it to be very effective in preventing my contractions. I had absolutely no side-effects and my daughter was born perfectly healthy and 4 years later she still is. I was unaware that this drug was not originally intended for that purpose but over-all I think my dr. made a good call putting me on it.

I took this drug for at least 2 months for premature labor. I felt as though I could climb the walls. I felt like I was on speed. I took this with two pregnancies and now both my sons have numerological problems cognizant problems. The problem is: the worst of the problems did not show up until their teens. I was told by my doctors that it would not harm them
