  • Asthma Treatment

    Asthma is a disorder where the breathing passages have excess mucous and tend to be constricted easily. Bambuterol acts as a bronchodilator, expanding breathing passages to attempt to compensate for the condition. Bambuterol is a prodrug, meaning that it has to be metabolized before it provides relief. This allows it to act as a long-lasting asthma medication, as opposed to short-term treatments like albuterol inhalers.
