Bronchodilators are medications that relax and open the airways in the lungs, improving airflow. They are primarily categorized into three types: short-acting beta-agonists (SABAs), such as albuterol, which provide quick relief; long-acting beta-agonists (LABAs), like salmeterol, which offer prolonged control; and anticholinergics, such as ipratropium, that block nerve signals to prevent bronchoconstriction. Additionally, there are methylxanthines, like theophylline, which are less commonly used but can also help relax airways.
