Common side effects of terbutaline include:
- Tremor or shakiness, especially in the hands
- Nervousness, restlessness, or feeling jittery
- Headache
- Dizziness
- Fast or pounding heartbeat
- Nausea
- Sweating
- Weakness
- Trouble sleeping
- Dry mouth
These effects are related to terbutaline’s action as a beta-2 agonist and may be more noticeable at higher doses.
More serious symptoms—such as chest pain, a very fast or irregular heartbeat, seizures, throat tightening, or worsening difficulty breathing—require prompt medical attention.
If you're specifically asking about inhaled terbutaline (Bricanyl Turbuhaler), I can also give you the side effects specific to that form.
