Checked in with my ob with in a few days and was sent home with a prescription of terbutaline pills! I felt shaky and it felt like I didn't have control/anxious! and I still had my son at 36 weeks. He has speech delays, low muscle tone, ADHD,ODD, sensory and texture issues, old static encephalopathy(under the umbrella for mild cerebral palsy)chronic constipation, and we are on a waiting list to be evaluated for the autism spectrum disorder(high functioning)! I hope a law suit comes about from all these children and their families affected by Terbutaline!!

He has multiple psuchiatric issues, learning disabilities, as well as high functioning form of autism, to which there is no treatment. I was never motified that this medication was being used off label, amd whem asked what the side effects or effect on the baby may be I was simply told if I didn't take it he'd be born premature, no other info was given. I believe that they should have given me this medication short term while they treated his lungs so if he ws born a premie he'd have been given a fighting chance. He now has multiple psychiatric issues, and a high functioning form of autism, to which there is no cure. While I get the run around trying to get him SSI benefits, this causes a hardship on our family,. I am also disabled due to spinal injuries, and can see that they are taking advantage of the sitution. Why can they not be sued for using off label medications (which I was on my entire third trimester) when I wasn't even allowed to take antibiotics during my pregnancy. I'll give you one more, I didn't even eat margarine, cold cuts, or anthing else that may cause risk to my child to protect him. I would never have agreed to this medication had I been given all of the information available at the time, unless it was short term to treat his lungs so that the lonterm treatment woujld not have been necessary. I did eerything in my power to protect this baby, and because I was lied to he was born with serious psychatric and learining disorders. Despite everything I did, once on this medication my baby never stood a chance, I beleieve any medicastions used on a pregnant mother have serious consequences to the fetus, and the fact that they had me on this off label medication for long term treatment is neglegence on the part of the pharmaceutical company who bsugested that it was safe and effective without proper studies. Now my son is permanently disabled with an illness to which there is no cure. Someone must be responsible. What will happen to him once my husbsnd and I are gone? A group home, which will drive him crazy because noises aggitate him and cause very fast decompansdation, among other normal day to day situatuions, please call me at 6318030714 or I will contact another attorney this medication was given to me for to long, consoderomg it was being used off label, which I was not made aware of, I believe the more appropriate treatmemt would have been to give it short term while they gave him the meds that would have increased the the growth and functioning of his lungs.

Your doctors didn't tell you about a risk of autism because it wasn't a known risk. The drug companies were also unaware of this risk. Many side effects are discovered after medications are released to the public simply because it is impossible to identify all of them in studies. This is especially true of side effects in pregnancy because very few studies are allowed to include pregnant women. Medical professionals do the best they can with the knowledge available, and fortunately, we learn more everyday so we can do a better job in the future.

Instead of wasting time with animals they should genetically modify human females to produce babies that don't need milk? @TonyAlanCooper: You are far too quick to accept things you know nothing about. A vague article and you are already on the bandwagon. You should get some common sense. As for cows milk being biologically ill-suited for humans..where the hell did you get that garbage...thousands of years and billions of people are evidence you are simply wrong. Absolutely vile.

Pure marketing for dummies. No real "bodybuilder" would consider this healthier than any other vodka. Target market is stupid guidos. Makes more sense to take a shot of any brand of vodka and eat some nuts right after. Or better yet just down a protein shake when you get home from partying. This is a dumb product and is sure to fail. 2 grams of protein is a joke. Pure marketing for dummies. No real “bodybuilder” would consider this healthier than any other vodka.

I took terbutaline by pump for 2 months. I have yet to find a doctor or psychiatrist to actually read the information I present to them regarding his behaviors and the possible relation to the terbutaline. All the doctors take the information and sit it aside, never even reading it. All I want is what is best for my child, but no one seems to be able to help. I also worry about his future and only want him to be happy and healthy and loved. He has been put on all kinds of stimulants for ADD but none have helped. Now he is off all medications and barely getting by in school. He is a bright child and always scores well on the FCAT, but without constant supervision, he will not do his work. Called his psychologist again today to talk more. Susie,
