Research Notes on COPD Medications
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) medications include bronchodilators, steroids, and antibiotics.1 Bronchodilators are medications that are used to open the airways of those with COPD. Steroids are used to control symptoms of COPD that have worsened temporarily.2 Antibiotics treat lung infections that are common in people with COPD.2 Antibiotics have also been used to prevent the occurrence of lung infections.1
Fast Facts:
- Commonly used bronchodilators include Albuterol, Salmeterol, and theophylline.2
- Certain immunizations are recommended on a yearly basis since those with COPD are predisposed to developing pneumonia and influenza.1
- COPD medications are used to treat symptoms such as wheezing and difficulty breathing.
