Detailed explanation-1: -Bronchodilators are a type of medication that make breathing easier. They do this by relaxing the muscles in the lungs and widening the airways (bronchi). They’re often used to treat long-term conditions where the airways may become narrow and inflamed.
Detailed explanation-2: -Salbutamol is used to relieve symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) such as coughing, wheezing and feeling breathless. It works by relaxing the muscles of the airways into the lungs, which makes it easier to breathe. Salbutamol comes in an inhaler (puffer).
Detailed explanation-3: -Albuterol is a type of drug called a short-acting bronchodilator. It provides relief from an asthma attack by relaxing the smooth muscles in your airways. It’s usually taken with a metered dose inhaler (ProAir HFA, Proventil HFA, others).
Detailed explanation-4: -Short-acting beta 2-agonists (SABAs) quickly open your airways to stop asthma symptoms. People sometimes refer to SABAs as “reliever” or “rescue” medicines because they’re the best medications for treating sudden, severe or new asthma symptoms. SABAs work within 15 to 20 minutes and last for four to six hours.
Detailed explanation-5: -Bronchodilators are drugs that open up (dilate) the breathing passages by relaxing the bronchial smooth muscle.
