Has anyone ever heard of the drug Terbutaline?

I have had 2 healthy children, the youngest being 7. Since then I have lost 3 babies. My Dr. never said that my babies died of heart failure. My daughter had a sonogram at 14 wks. and was declared healthy. A couple of weeks later she wasnt moving. They could find nothing wrong w/ her of the others. Only that their hearts had stopped beating. I came acrossed this drug called "Terbutaline" Has anyone ever heard of this drug being used to help fight featal heart failure? Thanx..

Its primarily an asthma drug, with off label uses as an agent to block preterm labor. The following page is someone private page that asks some serious question about that usage (though its focus is on autism and not fetal death, some of the findings are interesting): http://www.childbirthsolutions.com/articles/birth/prenatal/index.php Good luck.

Brethine (Terbutain Sulfate)... Look it up on the internet and ask your ob doctor and primary internist for professional advise.
