2. Long-acting beta-adrenoceptor agonist - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-acting_beta...

   LABAs are designed to reduce the need for shorter-acting β 2 agonists such as salbutamol (albuterol), as they have an approximately twelve-hour duration of action, compared to about five hours for salbutamol, making them candidates for sparing high doses of corticosteroids [citation needed] or treating nocturnal asthma and providing ...

3. Beta2-adrenergic agonist - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta2-adrenergic_agonist

   Beta 2-adrenergic agonists, also known as adrenergic β 2 receptor agonists, are a class of drugs that act on the β 2 adrenergic receptor. Like other β adrenergic agonists , they cause smooth muscle relaxation. β 2 adrenergic agonists' effects on smooth muscle cause dilation of bronchial passages , vasodilation in muscle and liver ...

4. Salmeterol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salmeterol

   Salmeterol is a long-acting β 2 adrenergic receptor agonist (LABA) used in the treatment and prevention of asthma symptoms and control of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) symptoms. [2] Symptoms of bronchospasm include shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing and chest tightness.

5. Formoterol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formoterol

   Formoterol, also known as eformoterol, is a long-acting β 2 agonist (LABA) used as a bronchodilator in the management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Formoterol has an extended duration of action (up to 12 h) compared to short-acting β 2 agonists such as salbutamol (albuterol), which are effective for 4 h to 6 h.

6. Anti-asthmatic agent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-asthmatic_agent

   Inhaled short-acting β2-adrenergic agonists, such as terbutaline and salbutamol, are the first-line drugs indicated for asthma exacerbation for all patients to provide rapid bronchodilating effects. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Short-acting β2-adrenergic agonists can be delivered by different devices, for example, nebulizers and metered-dose inhalers .

7. Clenbuterol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clenbuterol

   Clenbuterol is approved for use in some countries as a bronchodilator for asthma. [medical citation needed]Clenbuterol is a β 2 agonist with some structural and pharmacological similarities to epinephrine and salbutamol, but its effects are more potent and longer-lasting as a stimulant and thermogenic drug.

   Serious side effects may include worsening asthma, anaphylaxis, seizures, and heart problems. [5] Safety in pregnancy and breastfeeding is unclear. [6] Fluticasone, a corticosteroid, works by decreasing inflammation while salmeterol, a long-acting beta-adrenoceptor agonist (LABA), works by activating beta-2 adrenergic receptors. [5]
