in which bronchospasm is a complicating factor.

of sensitivity to terbutaline sulphate.
4.4 SPECIAL WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
Patients should be instructed in proper use and their inhalation

With each inhalation a fraction of the delivered dose will be
deposited in the oral cavity. To minimize unnecessary systemic
exposure to terbutaline, the patients should be advised to, when
possible, rinse their mouth after each use.
If a previously effective dosage regimen no longer gives the same
symptomatic relief, the patient should urgently seek further
medical advice.
