Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) medications are utilized to control and treat respiratory disorders that lead to breathing difficulties. These medications function by alleviating inflammation, relaxing the muscles in the airways, and enhancing airflow to the lungs, which helps relieve symptoms like shortness of breath, coughing, and wheezing. They are most commonly delivered through inhalers or nebulizers to ensure effective administration directly to the lungs.
The primary categories of drugs used for treating asthma and COPD include bronchodilators, corticosteroids, combination therapies, and leukotriene modifiers. Bronchodilators act rapidly to relax airway muscles, thereby opening the airways and offering quick relief from symptoms associated with asthma and COPD. These medications are administered through multiple methods, such as inhalation, oral tablets, injections, nasal sprays, and others. They are prescribed for a range of patient populations including adults, children, and the elderly, and are employed in treating various conditions such as asthma, COPD, allergic rhinitis, and pulmonary hypertension. The distribution of these medications occurs via multiple channels, including hospital pharmacies, retail outlets, online platforms, and drugstores.
