Information

Fenoterol is a selective β2-adrenergic agonist primarily used as a bronchodilator for the management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It has been widely used in the past, but its use is restricted or discontinued in several countries due to concerns about its safety profile, particularly cardiovascular side effects.

Pharmacokinetics

Pharmacokinetic parameters estimated after intravenous administration in healthy adult volunteers.
