terbutaline and Esophageal Achalasia

terbutaline has been researched along with Esophageal Achalasia in 1 studies

Terbutaline: A selective beta-2 adrenergic agonist used as a bronchodilator and tocolytic.
terbutaline : A member of the class of phenylethanolamines that is catechol substituted at position 5 by a 2-(tert-butylamino)-1-hydroxyethyl group.

Esophageal Achalasia: A motility disorder of the ESOPHAGUS in which the LOWER ESOPHAGEAL SPHINCTER (near the CARDIA) fails to relax resulting in functional obstruction of the esophagus, and DYSPHAGIA. Achalasia is characterized by a grossly contorted and dilated esophagus (megaesophagus).

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"We conclude that in patients with achalasia (a) terbutaline sulfate, nitroglycerin, and aminophylline can significantly decrease LES pressure; (b) resting LES pressures vary over time; and (c) terbutaline sulfate and nitroglycerin significantly improve esophageal emptying in some subjects."6.66The effect of terbutaline sulfate, nitroglycerin, and aminophylline on lower esophageal sphincter pressure and radionuclide esophageal emptying in patients with achalasia.
