- Pharmacodynamics
Procaterol is a long-acting beta-2-adrenergic receptor agonist. It is a potent bronchodilator that may be administered orally or by aerosol inhalation.
- Mechanism of action
Beta(2)-receptor stimulation in the lung causes relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle, bronchodilation, and increased bronchial airflow.
Target Actions Organism ABeta-2 adrenergic receptor agonistHumans - Absorption
Because of the small therapeutic dose, systemic levels of salmeterol are low or undetectable after inhalation of recommended doses.
