What is the detailed mechanism of action of terbutaline, including its effects on beta-adrenergic receptors and smooth muscle relaxation?
Terbutaline, a beta-2 adrenergic agonist, binds to beta-2 receptors on airway smooth muscle, activating adenylate cyclase, increasing cAMP, and promoting relaxation and bronchodilation.
