| Description |
Isoprenaline is a non-selective beta adrenergic receptor agonist indicated to treat heart block, Adams-Stokes attacks, bronchospasm in anesthesia, cadiac arrest, hypovolemic shocks, septic shock, hypoperfusion, congestive hear failure, and cardiogenic shock.[A15638,L33160]
Isoprenaline research in the 1940s found that this isopropyl analog of epinephrine dilated the bronchi, as well as raising the heart rate and cardiac output, without vasoconstriction.[A233724,A233729] The US patent from 1943 states that this compound had a wider therapeutic index and a stronger action than [adrenaline].[L33204]
Isoprenaline was granted FDA approval on 19 February 1948.[L33155] |
