Other Uses

A small arrow pointing down

Terbutaline Sulfate 2.5 mg Capsules (Gluten Free) are a compounded formulation designed to provide a precise dosage of the active ingredient, terbutaline sulfate. This medication is primarily used as a tocolytic agent, which means it can help to relax the uterus and delay labor in cases of preterm labor. This makes it a valuable tool in managing the health and wellbeing of both mother and baby during pregnancy.

By helping to relax the airways, it can reduce the severity of symptoms and allow for easier breathing during physical activity. This can significantly improve the quality of life for individuals who experience exercise-induced bronchospasm.

Terbutaline sulfate can also be used in the treatment of acute exacerbations of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). It works by reducing airway obstruction and improving breathing, providing relief from the distressing symptoms of a COPD flare-up.

However, it is crucial to understand that terbutaline sulfate is not intended for the long-term management of asthma, COPD, or other chronic respiratory conditions. Extended use of this medication can lead to serious side effects. Therefore, it should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional, and any questions or concerns about its use should be directed to a healthcare provider.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
