Beta2-agonists (bronchodilators) are a group of drugs prescribed to treat asthma. Short-acting beta-agonists (SABAs) provide quick relief of asthma symptoms. They can also be prescribed to be taken before exercising in order to prevent exercise-induced bronchoconstriction
How does a beta-2 agonist work?
Beta2-agonists relax airway smooth muscle by stimulating beta2-adrenergic receptors, which increases cyclic AMP and antagonizes mechanisms of bronchoconstriction. There are short-acting beta2-agonists (SABA) and long-acting beta2-agonists (LABA). SABAs improve FEV1 and symptoms; doses usually last 4–6 hours.
