Therapeutic Areas
Mechanism of Action
Activates beta-2 adrenergic receptors on bronchial smooth muscle, stimulating adenylyl cyclase and increasing intracellular cAMP. This relaxes airway smooth muscle and produces bronchodilation.
Pharmacokinetics (PK)
Pharmacodynamics (PD)
Activates beta-2 adrenergic receptors on bronchial smooth muscle, stimulating adenylyl cyclase and increasing intracellular cAMP. This relaxes airway smooth muscle and produces bronchodilation.
