2. Long-acting beta-adrenoceptor agonist - Wikipedia

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

   Long-acting β adrenoceptor agonists (LABAs) are beta-adrenergic agonists usually prescribed for moderate-to-severe persistent asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). 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 ...

3. Beta2-adrenergic agonist - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta2-adrenergic_agonist

   Beta2-adrenergic agonists, also known as adrenergic β2 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, relaxation of ...

4. Discovery and development of beta2 agonists - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discovery_and_development...

   β 2 -adrenoceptor agonists are a group of drugs that act selectively on β 2 -receptors in the lungs causing bronchodilation. β 2 -agonists are used to treat asthma and COPD, diseases that cause obstruction in the airways. Prior to their discovery, the non-selective beta-agonist isoprenaline was used. The aim of the drug development through ...

5. Anti-asthmatic agents - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-asthmatic_agents

   The goal of asthmatic agents is to reduce asthma exacerbation frequencies and related hospital visits. Anti-asthmatic agents as rescue medications for acute asthma attacks include short-acting β2-adrenergic agonists (SABA), short-acting muscarinic antagonists (SAMA), systemic glucocorticoids and magnesium sulfate.

6. Salbutamol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salbutamol

   It is a short-acting β 2 adrenergic receptor agonist that causes relaxation of airway smooth muscle. [8] It is used to treat asthma, including asthma attacks and exercise-induced bronchoconstriction, as well as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). [8] It may also be used to treat high blood potassium levels. [9]

7. Formoterol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formoterol

   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 ...
