RITODRINE

what is the MOA and what class does it belong to...and where is it used..

comeon guys...just answer at a snap..

@raw

u r rt , its used in narcolepsy .. i read in the morn and i was like , i dont remem the MOA ..so i looked up in google

modafinil,
like other stimulants, increases the release of monoamines, specifically the catecholamines norepinephrine and dopamine, from the synaptic terminals. However, modafinil also elevates hypothalamic histamine levels, leading some researchers to consider Modafinil a "wakefulness promoting agent" rather than a classic amphetamine-like stimulant.[9] Despite modafinil's histaminergic action, it still partially shares the actions of amphetamine-class stimulants due to its effects on norepinephrine and dopamine.

hmm
ritodrine

is it a tocolytic?

@2177: when i realized it was feb already, i got a bit stressed. didnt like seeing '2' in the date.
