Abstract

Review presents basic mechanisms of molecular interaction between beta 2-adrenoreceptor and its agonists. Practical aspects of differences in pharmacokinetic profiles of short and long acting beta-agonists are analysed with special attention paid to selected clinical situations when their therapeutic potential might be affected and risk of side effect increased.
