is a sympathomimetic drug, one which imitates the action of the sympathetic nervous system, that should be used cautiously with patients who have tachydysrhymias, CAD, or severe hypertension. It is administered in a metered dose inhaler where the patient takes one to two puffs themselves. A nebulizer can also administer it.
What is "tachydysrhymias"?
