A member asked:
What are the uses of a bronchodilator?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bronchodilator: Short answer: to open up the airways that might be twitching or inflamed. There are short acting agonists (albuterol) used primarily for immediate and quick relief, and long acting agonists which are often combined with another medication used for controller therapy to minimize the need for short term rescue use.
