Orciprenaline (also known as metaproterenol) is a selective beta-2 adrenergic agonist bronchodilator used for the treatment of asthma and other reversible obstructive airway diseases. It is now largely replaced by other more selective beta-2 agonists and is not commonly used in clinical practice today.
Pharmacokinetic parameters are from studies in healthy adult volunteers after oral administration.
