Effect of beta-Adrenoreceptor Stimulants on Exercise-Induced Asthma

R. Michael Sly M.D.1

1 Louisiana State University Medical Center, New Orleans

Exercise-induced asthma can be prevented or minimized by beta-adrenoreceptor stimulating drugs, which may elicit bronchodilation before exercise has begun or may enhance thebronchodilating effect of more prolonged exercise. Recently introduced beta-adrenoreceptor stimulants have longer durations of action than isoproterenol, are effective following oral administration, and are selective for beta-adrenoreceptors.
