Is Terbutaline Litigation an Answer for Families Struck By Autism?
The drug terbutaline was originally approved for usage by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of asthma symptoms. It acts to relax and smooth muscles, obstetricians have prescribed it as a tocolytic agent — a drug used to prevent or delay premature labor. However, terbutaline has never been approved for use as a tocolytic. Medical studies relate terbutaline usage to autism, in certain circumstances.
