Abstract
Medications that stimulate adrenergic receptors are frequently referred to as sympathomimetic adrenergic, and those that inhibit adrenergic receptors are referred to as Sympatholytic. Similarly, medications that stimulate the cholinergic receptors are referred to as para-sympathomimetic, and those that inhibit cholinergic receptors are called para-sympatholytic. The actions and adverse effects of the principal bronchodilators, specifically, the autonomic-active agents and methyl-xanthines, will be reviewed next.
