title: Fenoterol: clinical trial of a new long acting bronchodilator.
abstract: The bronchodilator and side effects of fenoterol and isoproterenol were evaluated in 19 asthmatic adults in a double-blind study. The study demonstrated that fenoterol has an onset of action which is just as rapid as isoproterenol and a duration of action that is markedly superior. Side effects were minimal.
