Good question! Mostly it depends on the type of lung disease - short-acting bronchodilators are commonly used to treat stable COPD. These can include:
• Anticholinergics
• Beta2-agonists
Long-acting bronchodilators are also used for seniors who have more persistent symptoms, medications that include anticholinergics such as aclidinium, tiotropium, and umeclidinium. Beta2-agonists may also be used in the form of formoterol or salmeterol. Other medications include:
• Phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) Inhibitors
• Corticosteroids
• Methylxanthines
Always check with your doctor to make sure a medication regimen is working safely to help your condition!
