pulmonary pharmacology

Pulmonary pharmacology involves medications that treat lung-related conditions by affecting how the lungs and airways function. These drugs can help open blocked airways in asthma or COPD, reduce inflammation, treat infections, or manage symptoms like coughing and mucus production. Common types include bronchodilators, which relax airway muscles; steroids, which decrease inflammation; and antibiotics, which fight lung infections. Understanding these medications helps improve breathing, reduce symptoms, and manage chronic lung diseases effectively.
