How does terbutaline affect potassium levels and what are the clinical implications of these changes in certain patient populations?
Terbutaline can decrease potassium levels by stimulating beta-2 adrenergic receptors, leading to hypokalemia. This may pose risks for patients with cardiovascular or renal disorders.
