Treatment Options

Inhaled Beta-2 Agonists

Beta2-agonists work in a manner similar to adrenaline, opening airways and easing breathing. They work by binding with, and thus stimulating, "beta2-receptors" that line the cell walls of the lungs and the bronchioles. The effect of this stimulation is to relax smooth muscles and widen the airways.
