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

La mescaline donnée à des volontaires sains produit une psychose proche de la schizophrénie. Les changements du comportement au cours de l'intoxication sont dus à une hyperactivité cérébrale produite par une action stimulante sur la dopamine et la sérotonine. Les symptômes sont ceux de l'hyperstimulation sympathique : augmentation de la pression artérielle, de la fréquence cardiaque et hyperthermie. La drogue est généralement ingérée, mais peut, sous forme de poudre, être injectée ou fumée. Son ingestion s’accompagne fréquemment de nausées. 2, record 3, French, - mescaline
