Breathing difficulties due to blockage and narrowing of respiratory tract
Asthma

Allergic reactions
Related conditions that cause breathing problems

BRONCHODILATORS WORKING
They that open (dilate) the airways (bronchial tubes) of the lung by relaxing bronchial muscles and allow people who have difficulty breathing to breath better

BRONCHODILATORS MECHANISM
The mechanism of action of bronchodilators includes targeting the beta-2 receptor, which is a G-protein coupled receptor, in the lung airways.
When the beta-2 receptor is activated, the smooth muscle of the airway relaxes.
After use them patient experiences better airflow for a period.
