What is LABA?

LABA stands for Long-Acting Beta-Agonists, which are a class of medications used primarily in the treatment of Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). They work by relaxing the muscles around the airways, leading to improved airflow and easier breathing. LABAs are typically used in combination with inhaled corticosteroids for better management of respiratory conditions. Common examples include salmeterol and formoterol.
