What are the effects of terbutaline on body temperature and how can these changes impact its use in patients prone to fever or hypothermia?
Terbutaline may cause a slight increase in body temperature due to its beta-agonist effects, which poses a risk in patients prone to fevers.
Terbutaline can induce hyperthermia by enhancing metabolism. This could be detrimental in fever-prone patients, necessitating close monitoring.
Patients susceptible to hypothermia might benefit from terbutaline’s potential to slightly raise body temperature through its metabolic effects.
