Primarily used in the treatment of asthma by quickly relieving the symptoms, it is also used as an anti-contraction medication to treat premature labor. When used in the latter case, it is usually used together with steroids, which treat complications in the fetus. However, if used for more than 48 hours, it can harm the developing fetus.
