Bronchodilation
Bronchodilation can be described as the expansion of the bronchial air passages in the respiratory tract. A bronchodilator is a substance that dilates the bronchial tubes, resulting in decreased resistance in the respiratory airway and increased airflow to the lungs. From a subjective standpoint, this effect feels as if has become significantly easier and more comfortable to breathe.
Additionally some psychostimulant drugs that have an amphetamine-like mode of action, such as amphetamine,[1] methamphetamine, and cocaine,[2] have bronchodilating effects and were used often for asthma due to the lack of effective β2-agonists for use as bronchodilator, but are now rarely, if ever, used medically for their bronchodilation effect.
