Metatproteronol

Were you looking for information on Metaproterenol? Metatproteronol is a common misspelling of metaproterenol.
 
Available only by prescription, metaproterenol is a drug used to treat bronchospasms caused by asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The drug works by opening up the airways so that more air can get into and through the lungs. It's important to note that the drug is usually taken only when needed for an asthma attack. It is generally not taken on a regular basis. Prior to taking metaproterenol, tell your healthcare provider if you have high blood pressure, a fast heart rate, or any allergies.
