    Bronchodilators work by dilating the bronchi and bronchioles, decreasing respiratory airway resistance and increasing airflow to the lungs. Short-acting β2-agonists like salbutamol provide quick, temporary relief from asthma symptoms and are best for treating sudden symptoms, while long-acting β2-agonists like salmeterol and formoterol are taken routinely to control and prevent bronchoconstriction. Expectorants are drugs that loosen and clear mucus from the respiratory tract.
