Fenoterol is a selective β2-adrenergic agonist used as a bronchodilator for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is primarily administered by inhalation to relieve bronchospasm. Fenoterol was widely used in the past; however, due to concerns over increased risk of severe asthma exacerbations, its inhaled formulations have been withdrawn or restricted in many countries and it is less commonly used today.
Pharmacokinetic parameters are reported for healthy adult volunteers after oral administration.
