Olodaterol
Drug Class: Long-acting Beta-2 agonist; Mechanism: Activates beta-2 receptors leading to bronchial smooth muscle relaxation.
Aminophylline
Drug Class: Methylxanthine; Mechanism: Inhibits phosphodiesterase, leading to increased cAMP and bronchodilation.
Theophylline
Drug Class: Methylxanthine; Mechanism: Increases intracellular cAMP by inhibiting phosphodiesterase, causing bronchodilation.
Salmeterol
Drug Class: Long-acting Beta-2 agonist; Mechanism: Stimulates beta-2 adrenergic receptors, providing long-term relaxation of airway smooth muscle.
Indacaterol
Drug Class: Ultra-long-acting Beta-2 agonist; Mechanism: Selectively stimulates beta-2 adrenergic receptors, providing sustained bronchodilation.
Ipratropium
Drug Class: Short-acting Antimuscarinic; Mechanism: Blocks muscarinic cholinergic receptors, reducing bronchoconstriction.
Terbutaline
Drug Class: Short-acting Beta-2 agonist; Mechanism: Stimulates beta-2 receptors to cause bronchodilation.
Levalbuterol
Drug Class: Short-acting Beta-2 agonist; Mechanism: Selectively stimulates beta-2 adrenergic receptors to promote bronchodilation.
Umeclidinium/Vilanterol
Drug Class: Combination Long-acting Antimuscarinic and Long-acting Beta-2 agonist; Mechanism: Dual bronchodilation effect through muscarinic receptor blockade and beta-2 receptor stimulation.
Fluticasone/Salmeterol
Drug Class: Combination Corticosteroid and Long-acting Beta-2 agonist; Mechanism: Anti-inflammatory action and sustained bronchodilation.
Formoterol
Drug Class: Long-acting Beta-2 agonist; Mechanism: Binds to beta-2 receptors leading to bronchodilation over an extended period.
Budesonide/Formoterol
Drug Class: Combination Corticosteroid and Long-acting Beta-2 agonist; Mechanism: Anti-inflammatory action and bronchial smooth muscle relaxation.
Beclomethasone/Formoterol
Drug Class: Combination Corticosteroid and Long-acting Beta-2 agonist; Mechanism: Anti-inflammatory action and bronchodilation.
Albuterol
Drug Class: Short-acting Beta-2 agonist; Mechanism: Stimulates beta-2 adrenergic receptors, leading to relaxation of airway smooth muscle.
Tiotropium
Drug Class: Long-acting Antimuscarinic; Mechanism: Inhibits muscarinic M3 receptors in the lung, leading to bronchodilation.
