Serevent

This page contains recent news articles, when available, and an overview of Serevent but does not offer medical advice. You should contact your physician with regard to any health issues or concerns.


Overview:

Serevent
(when available)

Pharmacology and use:
Salmeterol, a highly selective beta(2)-agonist, is used to treat asthma and to prevent bronchospasm in patients with reversible obstructive airway disease. For the treatment of Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Mechanism Of Action:
Salmeterol's long, lipophilic side chain binds to exosites near beta(2)-receptors in the lungs and on bronchiolar smooth muscle, allowing the active portion of the molecule to remain at the receptor site, continually binding and releasing. Beta(2)-receptor stimulation in the lung causes relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle, bronchodilation, and increased bronchial airflow.
