a drug that widens the airways in the lungs to improve breathing; works by relieving muscle contraction or buildup of mucus

A medication that acts to dilate the lumen of the airway to allow the unrestricted passage of air. These medications are commonly given to asthma patients who manifest wheezing.

medication that opens up the airways in the lungs. Chronic bronchitis: a daily cough with production of mucus for three months, which recurs for two years in a row. In chronic bronchitis, the linings of the airways swell and become inflamed, stimulating mucus production. This leads to narrowing and blockage of the airways. (AVELOX is not approved for the ongoing treatment of chronic bronchitis, but is approved for use in the treatment of acute bacterial exacerbation of chronic bronchitis caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Haemophilus parainfluenzae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, or Moraxella catarrhalis.)

an agent that causes dilatation (opening) of the bronchi.

a drug that relaxes airway smooth muscle and helps open up narrowed airways; useful in treating asthma.

a drug which relaxes smooth muscle in the bronchi and widens the airway. This makes breathing easier.

These drugs act principally to reverse narrowing of the airways, and dilate them by relaxing the bronchial smooth muscles that encircle the bronchiole (small airways.) As a class, bronchodilators include: beta2-adrenergic agonists (albuterol), beta-agonists (Salmeterol), anti-cholinergics (Atrovent), and methylxanthines (theophylline-based drugs such as Theo-Dur and Slo-Bid.) More trade names and information: bronchodilators / long-acting bronchodilators.

An asthma medicine that temporarily opens up the airways by relaxing the tiny bands of muscles that surround some of the airways in the lungs.

A medicine that relaxes the smooth muscles of the airways. This allows the airway to open up (to dilate) since the muscles are not squeezing it shut. Bronchodilator medicines do not help inflammation, however.

An herb that causes relaxation and dilation of the bronchial tubes (respiratory passageway). They're often used in coughs, bronchitis, and asthma (e.g., peppermint, ma huang, yerba santa).

a drug that relaxes and dilates the bronchial passageways and improves the passages of air into the lungs

a drug that helps to relax the smooth muscles in the lungs to make breathing easier

a medication intended to improvebronchial airflow

a medication that relaxes smooth muscle of the airways, causing the airway to widen, thereby alleviating the sensation of airway tightness and shortness of breath

a medication used to improve bronchial airflow

a medicine that opens up narrowed breathing passages

Agent causing the airways to widen, see above under -agonists.

(bron-ko-dy-lay-ter) - something that opens the airways, or bronchial tubes.

A medicine based on adrenaline that is used to treat asthma, such as Salbutamol, used in relievers.

A medicine that opens the airways by relaxing the muscle bands that tighten around the airways — Bronchodilators also help clear mucus from the lungs.

A drug that relaxes bronchial muscles, allowing the bronchial air passages to expand.

Expands the spastic bronchial tube.

Medication used to relax and open up the airways of the lungs to make it easier to breathe.

A medication used by people who have asthma to relax bronchial muscles, and, in turn, open up the bronchial tubes.

Medicine used to dilate (open) the airways.

Any medicine that acts by dilating the bronchi and bronchioles

A type of medication that opens up constricted airways by causing the muscle surrounding the bronchi to relax.

A type of medication that relaxes the muscles surrounding the airways. It helps breathing and relieves asthma symptoms.

A drug that relaxes the smooth muscles of the airways and relieves constriction of the bronchi. Bronchopulmonary: Pertaining to the lungs and air passages.

A medication that dilates the respiratory passages by relaxing constricted muscles. Air can now flow more easily through the respiratory tract.

A group of drugs that widen the airways of the lung, used in asthma.

an asthma medicine that helps to relax the muscles that tighten around the airways during an asthma attack and to open the blocked airways

A type of drug that relaxes the muscles within the respiratory airway thus allowing the airways to expand resulting in relief of dyspnea. See Beta 2 agonist and steroids.

A substance that acts to dilate or expand the bronchial airway passages, making it easier for patients to breathe

A medication used to open the airways.

A type of drug that relaxes bronchial muscles resulting in expansion of the bronchial air passages.

medication used to relax the muscle bands that tighten around the airways to increase air flow. Bronchodilators also help clear mucus from the lungs.

A drug that relaxes the smooth muscles and opens the constricted airway.

a medication that expands the diameter of the bronchial tubes making breathing easier.

medicine that helps breathing by widening the airways.

A type of drug that causes small airways in the lungs to open up. Bronchodilators are inhaled and are used to treat breathing disorders, such as asthma or emphysema.

It is a medication that acts to enlarge (dilate) the lumen of the airway to allow an unrestricted passage of air. This medication is commonly given to those with asthma who manifest wheezing.

medication— A group of drugs that widen the airways in the lungs.

A drug that causes the airways to open by relaxing the surrounding muscles. They include beta-2 agonists, anticholinergic agents and theophyllines.

Affects immune system and reactivity due to its ability to "open up" (dilate) the airways of the lungs (bronchi and bronchioles) due to antispasmodic action.

Medicine to treat asthma having similar effects of adrenalin.

Medication used to relax the muscle bands that tighten around the airways, enabling increased airflow.

Medication that may widen or increase the size of the airways in the lungs to allow for easier breathing.

Bronchodilator medicines are used to widen the airways of the lungs to help with breathing difficulties. For example, salbutamol.

Any number of drugs that enlarge the bronchial air passage either by shrinking the mucus membranes or by relaxing the smooth muscles that constrict the air passages

A bronchodilator is a medication intended to improve bronchial airflow. Treatment of bronchial asthma is the most common application of these drugs. They are also intended to help expand the airways and improve the breathing capacity of patients with emphysema, pneumonia and bronchitis.
