beta-agonist
Airway-relaxing medication class
A beta-agonist is a drug that stimulates beta-adrenergic receptors, causing muscles to relax—particularly in the airways and blood vessels.
Inhaled beta-agonists like albuterol are standard treatments for asthma attacks: She keeps a beta-agonist inhaler in her purse.
In livestock, beta-agonists promote lean muscle growth, which has made their use controversial in meat production.
