Definition:
Bronchodilator drugs help to dilate the airways, thus making air flow easier. They are mainly used in the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Bronchodilators may be applied in an acute therapy, leading to a fast and short-term relief of symptoms. Other types of bronchodilators are used for maintenance therapy in long-term treatment. Different categories of bronchodilators include beta two adrenergic agonists, anticholingergics, and theophylline.
