Question
which of the following is one of the major side effects of adrenergic or sympathomimetic bronchodilators? hypotension lethargy low blood sugar tachycardia
Adrenergic or sympathomimetic bronchodilators act on the sympathetic nervous system. Sympathomimetics can stimulate beta - adrenergic receptors in the heart, leading to an increase in heart rate. Hypotension is not a major side effect (they usually cause hypertension or no significant hypotension). Lethargy is not a typical side effect as these drugs are stimulatory. Low blood sugar is also not a major side effect; in fact, they may increase blood sugar. Tachycardia (increased heart rate) is a common major side effect due to the stimulatory effect on the heart's beta - receptors.
