[Toxicological investigation of reproterol (author's transl)].

Only slight toxicity of 7-(3-[2-(3,5-dihydroxyphenyl-2-hydroxy-ethylamino]-propyl)-theophylline (reproterol, Bronchospasmin) was shown in the examination of acute, subacute and chronic trials on various animal species with different modes of application. Slight side-effects noted with high toxically active dosages correspond with those of other well-known beta-sympathicomimetics. No influence on the pre-,peri- and postnatal development could be proven with doses tolerated by the parent animals.
