About

Ritodrine is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Ritodrine is a beta-2 selective adrenergic agonist with tocolytic (labour-delaying) applications. Its pharmacological profile includes significant cardiovascular side effects including tachycardia and hypotension, which make it unsuitable for cosmetic formulations. Not listed in EU approved cosmetic ingredient databases, it carries regulatory restrictions similar to other adrenergic agents used in prescription medicines.

Known concerns

  • Cardiovascular effects (tachycardia, hypotension)
  • Beta-2 agonist pharmacologically active
  • No cosmetic ingredient approval
  • Prescription drug profile
