Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.

A beta-2 adrenergic bronchodilator drug used to treat asthma and COPD. Labelled with H361 (suspected reproductive toxicity) and is not permitted in cosmetic formulations under EU cosmetics law.

Terbutaline sulfate is a synthetic catecholamine that acts primarily on beta-2 receptors to relax bronchial smooth muscle. It carries the GHS signal word 'Warning' and hazard H361 (suspected reproductive toxicity). EU cosmetics regulation does not permit bronchodilator drugs as cosmetic ingredients; they are regulated as medicinal products.

Known concerns

  • H361 — suspected reproductive toxicity
  • EU regulated as medicinal substance, not cosmetics ingredient
  • Cardiovascular effects (tachycardia, palpitations)
  • Neurological effects possible
