The three types of bronchodilators used for treatingasthmaare; 1) beta-adrenergic bronchodilators; 2) anticholinergic bronchodilators; and 3)xanthine derivatives. Beta-adrenergic bronchodilatorsdilate bronchial airways by relaxing the muscles that surround the airways. Beta-adrenergic bronchodilators are be...
Combination inhalers are those that contain both a steroid and a bronchodilator. Studies suggest that using a single combination inhaler instead of multiple inhalers may reduce hospitalizations for asthma attacks.10 Combination inhalers used for asthma include: Advair, which combines the steroid fluticas...
