Terbutaline sulfate (Brethine®) is a medication that is used for the treatment of asthma and emphysema. While the drug is not a cure for asthma and should not be used to treat an asthma attack, it can help prevent attacks from occurring.
 
Terbutaline tablets, which are available by prescription, come only in generic form. Among the factors that can affect the dose your healthcare provider recommends are your age, other medical conditions you may have, and other medications you may be taking. Possible side effects include shakiness, drowsiness, and headaches.
