macTT Forum Senior Topics: 32 Posts: 86	Nov 02, 2006 - 1:15 AM       #7 I would go with C, The key is to word "tremulousness" after the drug was administered. DOn't forget that D1 is facilitates movement. Hope this helps
lam79m Forum Junior Topics: 6 Posts: 47	Nov 03, 2006 - 8:25 AM       #8 I think b) is suppose to be beta 2 adrenergic. Drugs like ritodrine, isoxsuprine, etc have this effect and are commonly used. I doubt that B2 agonist have any significant effect on D receptors to cause tremor.

werther Forum Senior Topics: 11 Posts: 108	Mar 28, 2007 - 9:48 AM       #13 Tremor is a relatively common adverse effect of the beta-2-selective receptor agonists. Tolerance generally develops to this effect; it is not clear whether tolerance reflects desensitization of the beta-2 receptors of skeletal muscle or adaptation within the CNS. This adverse effect can be minimized by starting oral therapy with a low dose of drug and progressively increasing the dose as tolerance to the tremor develops. Feelings of restlessness, apprehension, and anxiety may limit therapy with these drugs, particularly oral or parenteral administration. Done!
