Effective Bronchodilators for asthma

Salbutamol is one of the short-acting bronchodilators

Bronchodilators as their name suggest are drugs, which are capable of dilating the air passages within the lungs. Thus, these medications are helpful in managing bronchial narrowing which will take place during an asthmatic attack or else to prevent such occurrences among susceptible individuals. However, not all bronchodilators are alike and according to their speed of action, there are two categories of bronchodilators, which are the short-acting ones, and the long-acting bronchodilators. 

Asthma medications explained

Asthma medications include many different varieties

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the lungs and the airways. It is characterized by the presence of decreased airflow from time to time, production of mucus and cough. Thus, the main aim of the medications used to control this disease should be to reduce the inflammation within the respiratory system and maintain the patency of the air passages without allowing them to narrow or be blocked with mucus from time to time. However, there isn’t a medication that can completely wipe off asthma yet, and it is essential that those who are suffering from asthma understand and utilize the most appropriate medications without missing too many doses throughout their lives.
