Groups approved
Monoisotopic Weight 290.16304258
Pharmacology
Indication For the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Mechanism of action Beta(2)-receptor stimulation in the lung causes relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle, bronchodilation, and increased bronchial airflow.
Absorption Because of the small therapeutic dose, systemic levels of salmeterol are low or undetectable after inhalation of recommended doses.
