Tratamiento respiratorio y cuidado respiratorio

There are many different medicines used to treat breathing problems such as asma y enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (EPOC). There are two main types of treatment: 'relievers' and 'preventers'. Reliever medicines, such as salbutamol y salmeterol, work quickly to widen the airways and make breathing easier. Preventer medicines are taken regularly to reduce swelling and inflammation in the lungs and airways. Examples of preventer medicines include beclometasona, fluticasona y montelukast. Usually a combination of reliever and preventer medicines is used to manage the symptoms of asthma and COPD.
