Regular use of bronchodilators should therefore be avoided and should be kept in reserve for breakthrough wheezing. |
The inhaled bronchodilators relieve only the airway narrowing from spasm of the bronchial smooth muscle. |
Also, bronchodilators may demonstrate different pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic characteristics during an acute exacerbation of asthma. |
There is also evidence that diuretics and bronchodilators may have a synergistic effect in improving lung mechanics. |
For example, I cannot imagine trying to treat a diabetic patient without insulin, or an asthmatic patient without bronchodilators. |
Salbutamol and isoprenaline were equipotent bronchodilators when given intravenously. |
