Tulobuterol is a long-acting beta2-adrenergic receptor agonist used as a bronchodilator for the treatment of bronchial asthma, chronic bronchitis, and other chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases. It is often administered as a transdermal patch and is approved for use in several countries, including Japan.
Pharmacokinetic parameters estimated for a healthy adult population after transdermal administration, as published data are very limited.
