Beta-adrenergics terbutaline

Larsson K, Martinsson A, Hjemdahl P. Influence of beta-adrenergic receptor function during terbutaline treatment on allergen sensitivity and bronchodilator response to terbutaline in asthmatic subjects. Chest 1992 101(4) 953-60. [Pg.452]

Albuterol selectively stimulates beta-adrenergic receptors in the lungs causing relaxation of bronchial smooth muscles, which in turn relieves bronchospasm and reduces airway resistance. The selective beta2-adrenergic stimulants cause bronchodilation without cardiac acceleration. Metaproterenol and terbutaline are available in tablet form, and terbutaline is also available for subcutaneous injection. Metaproterenol and albuterol are available in metered-dose inhalers.

Beta-adrenergic agonists can be broadly categorized as having beta-1 and beta-2 receptor activity. This section describes the toxicity of several beta-2-selective agonists that are commonly available for oral use albutemi (salbutamol), metapro-terenol, and terbutaline (Table 11-16). [Pg.133]
