Answer:

First option - Bronchodilator (beta adrenergic agonists drugs)

Second option - corticosteroid

Explanation:

    Asthma is one of the most common chronic respiratory diseases, along with allergic rhinitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The main features of this lung disease are shortness of breath, wheezing and chest tightness, short and rapid breathing. Symptoms worsen at night and in the early hours of the morning or in response to exercise, exposure to allergens, environmental pollution and climate change.

   In asthma attacks, first, try the bronchodilator (the inhaler - asthma pumps). If the answer is not satisfactory, enter the corticosteroid. There are currently cortisone derivatives with minor side effects and excellent results. As a spray, they eliminate oral doses and, inhaled, act directly on the lungs.

     A bronchodilator is used by almost all people with asthma as a way to open the airway. For the treatment of asthma symptoms, there are three types of bronchodilators: beta-agonists, anticholinergics and xanthines.

   Short-acting beta-adrenergic (beta agonists) drugs are usually the best medicines to relieve asthma attacks. They are also used to prevent exercise-induced asthma. These drugs are called bronchodilators because they stimulate beta-adrenergic receptors to widen (dilate) the airways. Bronchodilators that act on all beta-adrenergic receptors throughout the body (such as epinephrine) cause side effects such as tachycardia, agitation, headache, and muscle tremors.
