Metaproterenol Solution

Generic Name: Metaproterenol Inhalation Solution (met-a-proe-TER-e-nol)
Brand Name: Generic only. No brands available.

Metaproterenol Solution is used for:

Treating or preventing symptoms of asthma, emphysema, bronchitis, and other reversible breathing problems. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Metaproterenol Solution is a beta-adrenergic agonist bronchodilator. It works by relaxing the smooth muscle in the airways, allowing air to flow in and out of the lungs more easily.

Do NOT use Metaproterenol Solution if:

you are allergic to any ingredient in Metaproterenol Solution
you have had an unexpected reaction to another sympathomimetic (eg, albuterol, pseudoephedrine)
you have a fast heartbeat
you are taking another beta-adrenergic bronchodilator (eg, albuterol) or droxidopa

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

Before using Metaproterenol Solution:

Some medical conditions may interact with Metaproterenol Solution. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:

if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
if you have heart problems (eg, irregular heartbeat, congestive heart failure) or high blood pressure
if you have a history of seizures (eg, epilepsy), diabetes, an overactive thyroid, or have an adrenal gland tumor (eg, pheochromocytoma)

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Metaproterenol Solution. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:

Beta-blockers (eg, propranolol) because the effectiveness of Metaproterenol Solution may be decreased
Beta-adrenergic bronchodilators (eg, albuterol), catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitors (eg, entacapone), monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors (eg, phenelzine), sympathomimetics (eg, pseudoephedrine), or tricyclic antidepressants (eg, amitriptyline) because side effects may be increased by Metaproterenol Solution
Droxidopa because the risk of side effects, such as irregular heartbeat or heart attack, may be increased

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Metaproterenol Solution may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.

How to use Metaproterenol Solution:

Use Metaproterenol Solution as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.

To use Metaproterenol Solution, twist open the top of the vial and pour the entire contents into the nebulizer reservoir, unless directed otherwise by your doctor.
Do not use Metaproterenol Solution if it is pinkish or darker than slightly yellow or contains particles.
Connect the nebulizer reservoir to the mouthpiece or face mask. Connect the nebulizer to the compressor.
Sit in a comfortable, upright position. Place the mouthpiece in your mouth (or put on the face mask) and turn on the compressor.
Breathe as calmly, deeply, and evenly as possible until no more mist is formed in the nebulizer chamber (about 5 to 15 minutes).
Clean the nebulizer according to the instructions. Failure to properly clean the nebulizer could lead to bacterial contamination and you may get an infection. To avoid contamination, throw away any unused medicine after the vial has been opened.
If you miss a dose of Metaproterenol Solution, use it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not use 2 doses at once.

Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Metaproterenol Solution.
