    Respiratory Drugs can be categorized into expectorants, which loosen bronchial secretions so they can be eliminated by coughing; bronchodilators, which relax smooth muscles and dilate the bronchioles; and anti-inflammatory drugs, which are used to treat conditions like COPD and asthma by decreasing inflammation and swelling in the respiratory system. The respiratory system's main functions are gas exchange and breathing, which are regulated by the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems working in opposition to maintain homeostasis. Various drug classes target these systems and processes to treat respiratory disorders and their symptoms.
