Medical Therapy
Beta 2 Agonists
Beta 2 adrenergic agonists are recommended for bronchospasm.
- Short acting (SABA)
- Long acting (LABA)
- Others
Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor Antagonist
Since the neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, is known to decrease sympathetic response by slowing the heart rate and constricting the smooth muscle tissue; ongoing research and successful clinical trials have shown that agents such as diphenhydramine, atropine and Ipratropium bromide is known to be effective for treating asthma and COPD-related symptoms.
