difference between ventolin and atrovent
Atrovent is an anticholinergic medicine. Our bodies release a natural neurotransmitter (Acetylcholine) that attaches to cholinergic receptors in the muscles surrounding the air passages in our lungs. This cause these muscles to spasm, and your air passages to become narrow (bronchoconstriction).
Ventolin is a beta adrenergic medicine. It is a medicine that attaches to beta 2 receptors that are on the muscles that surround the air passages in your lungs (bronchioles) and cause the air passages to relax. It can rapidly open up your lungs making it easier to breathe.
