Anti-Asthmatic
Bronchila asthma is characterised
by hyperresponsiveness of the tracheo-bronchial smooth muscles to a variety
of stimuli, resulting in the narrowing of air tubes, often accompanied
by increased secretion of mucosal edema. Anti-asthmatics are bronchodilators
useful in the above condition, but should be used with caution (only under
doctor's advice) during pregnancy.
