Question 10 • VA_Pharmacology_A

Why are drugs for asthma, such as bronchodilators, often administered through inhalation?

Answer
A
Patients with asthma need help breathing.
B
Inhalation delivers the medication directly to the lungs.
C
Only steroids and antihistamines act directly on the lungs.
D
There is no advantage to inhaling asthma medication.

Explanation

Inhaled bronchodilators travel directly into the airways and lungs, where they relax the muscles around the airways and help open them. This targets the site of asthma symptoms and can reduce effects elsewhere in the body. Therefore, the correct choice is B, inhalation delivers the medication directly to the lungs.
