asthma results in the constriction of bronchioles. What chemical will reverse it?
All brochodilalators are derivative of epinephrine. They started by trying to limit the Beat 1 agonists with Isuprel. Then further refinement led to Bronkosol, Alupent and now Albuterol sulfate. This is a Beta 2 agonists with very few side effects that were seen with earlier preparations. But these are all bronchodilators, a muscle relaxant for the bronchial airway muscles. That’s not the only cause of constriction though. You have to consider the inflammation and consequent swelling of the bronchial walls. Also increased production of thick viscous mucous is a major contributing factor.
