    This document categorizes medications used to treat respiratory conditions into three groups: bronchodilators, anti-inflammatories, and mast cell stabilizers. It provides information on the classification, mechanism of action, therapeutic uses, adverse effects, and patient teaching for sample drugs in each category. Bronchodilators such as albuterol work by relaxing smooth muscles to open airways and relieve symptoms. Anti-inflammatory steroids like prednisone suppress inflammation. Leukotriene inhibitors and mast cell stabilizers reduce inflammation by blocking histamine release. All medication classes aim to widen airways and reduce symptoms for conditions like asthma and COPD.
