Médicaments contre l'emphysème [...] Parmi les bronchodilatateurs, les anticholinergiques tels que l'ipratropium(Atrovent) sont souvent privilégiés. Leur action s’étend sur six à huit heures et ils présentent peu d’effets indésirables. Viennent ensuite les stimulants des récepteurs B2 adrénergiques. Les plus connus sont l'albutérol(Proventil), le métaprotérénol(Alupent) et le salmétérol(Serevent). 3, record 1, French, - m%C3%A9taprot%C3%A9r%C3%A9nol
