Beta-adrenergic Agonists

Beta-adrenergic agonists are medications that stimulate beta receptors in the body’s sympathetic nervous system. They are commonly used to relax muscles in the airways, which helps open the lungs and ease breathing in conditions like asthma and COPD. These drugs mimic adrenaline, triggering responses such as increased heart rate and dilation of bronchial tubes. They act quickly to provide relief during breathing difficulties. While effective, they should be used as directed to avoid side effects like rapid heartbeat or jitters. Overall, they are important tools for managing respiratory conditions by promoting easier airflow to the lungs.
