Terbutaline relaxes uterine muscles, reducing contractions and delaying preterm labor, allowing fetal development time and reducing complications.
By inhibiting uterine contractions, terbutaline helps manage preterm labor, giving the fetus more time to mature, potentially lowering premature birth risks.
Terbutaline acts as a beta-2 agonist, calming the uterus to prevent premature birth, thus extending pregnancy and improving neonatal outcomes.
