Abstract:
A young female patient was admitted twice within two months, each time after an overdose of 500 mg terbutaline. Clinical features included nausea, tachycardia, tremor, hyperglycemia and hypokalemia. Although plasma concentrations of terbutaline were at least 50 times the normal therapeutic level, after potassium substitution the outcome was uneventful.
