@AnKing-Maintainers card needs clarification due to possible multiple indications for terbutaline

Support good find

Would change treatment to ā€œpreventionā€ or ā€œprevent progression ofā€¦ā€

Theoretically, it can be used for asthma and COPD, but I don’t think any question will test that (even AMBOSS states it is ā€˜not usually recommended’)

Also, it is a tocolytic and there is a handful of other indications other than preterm labor (e.g., uterine tachysystole) and I don’t want to make the focus on ā€œpreterm laborā€ instead of the pharmacokinetics of Terbutaline

I don’t mind the proposed change, but I’m not strongly in favor of it. I would change it to something along these lines:

Terbutaline is a {{c2::β2}} receptor agonist that relaxes {{c1::uterine smooth}} muscle and also has bronchodilatory effects
