Question
administering too many rounds of a bronchodilator, such as albuterol, could potentially cause: 1 point abdominal pain hypotension tachycardia bronchoconstriction am i right? submit answer
Albuterol is a bronchodilator that acts on beta - 2 adrenergic receptors, but it can also have beta - 1 adrenergic effects when overused. Beta - 1 adrenergic stimulation of the heart leads to an increased heart rate, which is tachycardia. Abdominal pain is not a typical side - effect of excessive albuterol use related to its adrenergic action. Hypotension is not a common result of too much albuterol (it may cause hypertension in some cases due to beta - 1 and alpha - adrenergic effects). Bronchoconstriction is the opposite of what a bronchodilator is supposed to do, and excessive albuterol is more likely to cause cardiac - related side - effects like tachycardia rather than bronchoconstriction.
