Best Answer

•Beta-agonists for Asthma

-Dilate bronchioles but speed up the heart because both ß1 and ß2 receptors are stimulated

-Specific ß2 -agonists just dilate the bronchioles

•Salbutamol (Ventolin) is a specific agonist of the ß2 receptor and provides tremendous relief for asthma sufferers.
