Action ⬆ ⬇

  • A long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist (LABA) that stimulates adenyl cyclase, resulting in accumulation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) at beta2-adrenergic receptors resulting in bronchodilation.
Therapeutic effects:
  • Bronchodilation with decreased airflow obstruction.

Classifications ⬆ ⬇

Therapeutic Classification: bronchodilators

Pharmacologic Classification: beta-adrenergic agonists

Pharmacokinetics ⬆ ⬇

Absorption: 30% absorbed following oral inhalation (from lung surface); swallowed drug is minimally absorbed.

Distribution: Extensively distributed to tissues.

Metabolism/Excretion: Extensively metabolized by the liver, some by the CYP3A4 isoenzyme; only one metabolite binds to beta2 adrenergic receptors. 5–7% excreted unchanged in urine, remainder in feces as drug and metabolites (84%).

Half-Life: 45 hr.
