How it Works
This is a type of bronchodilator known as a short-acting beta-2 agonist. It works by relaxing the muscles in the air passages of the lungs, which widens the airways and makes it easier to breathe.
This is a xanthine derivative that also acts as a bronchodilator. It helps to relax the smooth muscles in the airways and pulmonary blood vessels.
