metaproterenol and Tremor

metaproterenol has been researched along with Tremor in 7 studies

Metaproterenol: A beta-2 adrenergic agonist used in the treatment of ASTHMA and BRONCHIAL SPASM.
orciprenaline : A racemate composed of equimolar amounts of (R)- and (S)-orciprenaline. Used (as its sulfate salt) to relax the airway muscles and improve breathing for patients suffering from asthma or bronchitis.
5-[1-hydroxy-2-(isopropanylamino)ethyl]benzene-1,3-diol : A member of the class of resorcinols bearing an additional 1-hydroxy-2-(isopropanylamino)ethyl substituent at position 5 of resorcinol itself.

Tremor: Cyclical movement of a body part that can represent either a physiologic process or a manifestation of disease. Intention or action tremor, a common manifestation of CEREBELLAR DISEASES, is aggravated by movement. In contrast, resting tremor is maximal when there is no attempt at voluntary movement, and occurs as a relatively frequent manifestation of PARKINSON DISEASE.

"A double-blind crossover trial was conducted in 10 asthmatic patients for comparison of fenoterol with salbutamol, in 12 other asthmatic patients for comparison of reproterol with salbutamol, and in 15 other asthmatic patients for comparison of terbutaline with salbutamol."9.04[The bronchospasmolytics salbutamol, fenoterol, terbutaline and reproterol.
