Could terbutaline used during preg. be the cause of cardiac arrhythmia in toddler?By Cindy from Pylesville, Maryland on July 15, 2006 Category: Terbutaline sulfate I was started on terbutaline at 26 wks pregnancy with twins for contractions with no cervical changes. I continued taking it off and on until 35 weeks of prenancy. My twins are 2 1/2 now and both are speech delayed of which my son is now improving but my daughter is not. My daughter has had 2 episodes of cardiac arrhythmia of which she is now being monitored for. She has episodes of what we think might be chest pains. She holds her chest and says " ouch" and at that time has the arrhythmia. This has happened twice in the past month that I am aware of. I was wondering if the terbutaline could have long term affect on her heart, but have not been able to find any information to support or dispute this. Can you help? I would appreciate any information or links that may be helpful. Cindy Jones davecin3@yahoo.com |
