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 asthma attacks from occurring.
 
Terbutaline tablets, which are available by prescription, come only in generic form. Among the factors that can affect the dose of terbutaline that your healthcare provider recommends are your age, other medical conditions you may have, and other medications you may be taking. Some side effects of terbutaline include shakiness, nervousness, drowsiness, and headaches.
