Salmefamol and salbutamol. An experimental comparative study of their action on tracheal and bronchial smooth muscles

Respiration. 1979;38(5):257-65. doi: 10.1159/000194090.

Abstract

An experimental comparative study has been undertaken to evaluate the action of salmefamol and salbutamol, two sympathomimetic drugs specific for the beta-receptors, on tracheal and bronchial smooth muscles. Salmefamol showed a more intense, longer-lasting beta-adrenergic activity than salbutamol did.
