Question 5 of 5
Salbutamol:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Salbutamol is a beta-2 agonist that relaxes bronchial smooth muscle but can cause side effects like skeletal muscle tremors due to beta-2 receptor stimulation in skeletal muscle. It does not contract uterine muscle (it relaxes it) and can increase heart rate via beta-1 receptor spillover, making 'c' the correct choice.
