Bambuterol, a prodrug of terbutaline, is a long acting ß2 adrenergic receptor agonist used in the treatment of asthma. Bambuterol is an adrenergic ß2 receptor agonist which predominantly stimulates ß2 receptor, thus producing relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle, inhibition of release of endogenous spasmogens, inhibition of edema caused by endogenous mediators & increased mucocilliary clearance.
