Name: FENOTEROL
Class: Sympathomimetic (Adrenergic)
Risk Factor: B
Fetal Risk Summary
No reports linking the use of fenoterol with congenital defects have been located. Fenoterol, a b-sympathomimetic, has been used to prevent premature labor (1,2). The effects in the mother, fetus, and newborn are similar to those produced by the parent compound (see Metaproterenol). Fenoterol has been shown to inhibit prostaglandin-induced uterine activity at term (3).
Fenoterol was administered to 11 patients 30 minutes before cesarean section under general anesthesia at an infusion rate of 3 µg/minute (4). No adverse effects were seen in the mother, fetus, or newborn after this short exposure. Infusion in hypertensive pregnant patients caused a greater drop in diastolic blood pressure than did the same dose in normotensive pregnant women (5). Other cardiovascular parameters in the mothers and fetuses were comparable between the two groups.
