Abstract
|
|
|
|
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by persistent airflow limitation and chronic inflammation that is not limited in the lung. The mainstay of current treatment for COPD is long-acting bronchodilators. Despite of the unmet needs for anti-inflammatory drugs, the major advances in the bronchodilators are a number of once per day inhaled beta2-agonists, muscarinic antagonists and their combinations. A number of novel inhalers have been investigated for clinical utility on the treatment of COPD. This review will summarize current developments in the field.
