How does terbutaline interact with beta-adrenergic blockers and what are the clinical implications for co-administration in hypertensive or cardiac patients?
Terbutaline, a beta-2 agonist, can be antagonized by beta-adrenergic blockers, reducing its effectiveness in bronchodilation. This interaction is particularly risky in patients with hypertension or heart diseases, as it may exacerbate their conditions.
