Terbutaline (Bricanyl) in the treatment of female urge incontinence
Abstract:
Fifteen women with idiopathic urge incontinence (8 motor and 7 sensory urge incontinence) were treated with a beta 2-adrenoceptor-stimulating agent, terbutaline (Bricanyl) for 3 months. A subjective effect on the symptoms urgency and frequency was found in 14 patients, and 12 patients (80%) became continent. In 6 of 8 cases the detrusor became stable. The drug was generally well tolerated; however, a high incidence of transient side effects were observed. Terbutaline seems to be valuable in the treatment of idiopathic female urge incontinence.

Adrenergic Agonists: Therapeutic Uses
Emergency and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) applications: Pressor agents increase blood pressure, heart rate, and contractility in shock and organ failure situations. Dopamine can induce vasodilation and stimulate adrenoceptors. Endogenous catecholamines are effective in treating cardiogenic shock. α2-agonists like clonidine can reverse anesthesia-induced hypertension.

Upper Respiratory Drugs: Antitussives, Expectorants, and Mucolytics
Antitussives include codeine, dextromethorphan (Robitussin), and benzonatate (Tessalon). Codeine and dextromethorphan exert their effects centrally by suppressing the cough reflex center in the medulla. Benzonatate operates peripherally within the respiratory tract by anesthetizing...
Antiasthma Drugs: β2-Adrenoceptor Agonists
One class of bronchodilators includes β2-adrenoceptor agonists. These agents target the β2-adrenoceptors located on bronchial smooth muscle cells. By stimulating these receptors, β2-agonists induce relaxation in these...
