Bronchodilators Bronchodilators are sometimes called either “rescue” or “control” medications. Rescue medications are usually short-acting and are used for quick relief from symptoms. They work by relaxing the bands of muscle surrounding the airways.Control medications are long-acting medications taken daily to prevent breathing difficulties from occurring and to prevent long-term damage to the airways. Patients continue to take these medications even when symptoms do not occur.ral forms of bronchodilators tend to have more side effects because they are delivered in higher doses and absorbed into the bloodstream. Inhaled bronchodilators are directly deposited in the lungs and tend to cause fewer side effects.

Bronchodilator Additionally some psychostimulant drugs that have an amphetamine like mode of action, such as amphetamine, methamphetamine, and cocaine, have bronchodilating effects and were used often for asthma due to the lack of effective β 2-adrenergic agonists for use as bronchodilator, but are now rarely, if ever, used medically for their bronchodilation effect.

bronchiole The bronchioles or bronchioli are the passageways by which air passes through the nose or mouth to the alveoli (air sacs) of the lungs, in which branches no longer contain cartilage or glands in their submucosa.he diameter of the bronchioles plays an important role in air flow. The bronchioles change diameter to either increase or reduce air flow. An increase in diameter is called bronchodilation and is stimulated by either epinephrine or sympathetic nerves to increase air flow.
