What is the trade name for the inhaler containing isoetharine?

Alupent
Ventolin
Proventil
Bronkometer

The correct answer is: Alupent

The trade name for the inhaler containing isoetharine is Alupent. Isoetharine is a bronchodilator that works by relaxing the muscles of the airways to improve breathing, making it helpful for conditions like asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Alupent is specifically formulated to deliver isoetharine as its active ingredient via an aerosolized inhalation route, providing quick relief from bronchospasm. Other options listed primarily contain different active ingredients or formulations. For instance, Ventolin includes albuterol, which is another type of bronchodilator, while Proventil also contains albuterol, and Bronkometer is not a known trade name for an inhaler with isoetharine. Understanding these distinctions is essential for the appropriate management of respiratory conditions.
