Ataline 2.5mg Tablet

Ataline 2.5mg Tablet contains Terbutaline Sulfate 2.5mg, a short-acting beta-2 adrenergic agonist bronchodilator taken by mouth to relax the smooth muscle lining the airways. It is commonly used to relieve and prevent bronchospasm associated with reversible airway conditions such as asthma and chronic bronchitis, helping to ease wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.

Ataline 2.5mg Tablet is a prescription-only medicine in Malaysia. DoctorOnCall requires an online medical consultation so a doctor can review the patient’s respiratory condition, current medications, and overall health before issuing a prescription and dispensing this medicine through a registered pharmacist.

Terbutaline Sulfate stimulates beta-2 adrenergic receptors found on the smooth muscle of the bronchial airways, triggering relaxation of that muscle and widening of the air passages. This reduces airway resistance, making it easier to breathe and helping to relieve symptoms of bronchospasm such as wheezing and chest tightness within a short period after dosing.

Take Ataline 2.5mg Tablet by mouth exactly as prescribed by your doctor, usually with a glass of water and without crushing or chewing unless instructed otherwise. It may be taken with or without food, though taking it consistently at the same times each day helps maintain steady symptom control; do not stop or change the dose without consulting your doctor first.

The dose is individualized by the prescribing doctor based on the patient’s age, weight, and severity of symptoms, and typically starts at a low dose that may be adjusted over time. Patients should never exceed the prescribed frequency or amount, as doing so increases the risk of side effects such as tremor and rapid heartbeat, and should always follow their doctor’s specific instructions.

Ataline 2.5mg Tablet should be used before the expiry date printed on the packaging, when stored under the recommended conditions. Do not use tablets beyond their stated shelf life, and dispose of any expired or unused medicine safely rather than sharing it with others.

Store Ataline 2.5mg Tablet at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture, in its original packaging until ready for use. Keep the medicine out of the reach of children and pets, and do not store it in the bathroom where humidity may affect the tablets.
