Brethine generic name?

What is Brethine’s generic name?

Brethine is the brand name for terbutaline (a beta-2 adrenergic agonist) [1].

Is Brethine the same as generic terbutaline in different forms?

Yes. You can see the same active ingredient, terbutaline, sold under generic names across different dosage forms (for example, tablets or injectable products), while “Brethine” refers to a specific brand of that ingredient [1].

Are there different generic names if it’s a combination product?

For typical “Brethine” prescribing, the drug’s generic name is terbutaline. If a product is different (for example, a different brand, strength, or combination), the labels would reflect that, but the core generic ingredient associated with Brethine is still terbutaline [1].
