To widen the bronchi, medications known as bronchodilators are commonly used. These can be classified into short-acting agents, such as albuterol, and long-acting agents, such as salmeterol. They work by relaxing the muscles around the airways, allowing them to open up and improve airflow in conditions like Asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In some cases, corticosteroids may also be used to reduce inflammation and further facilitate bronchial dilation.
