Medications for emphysema include expectorant, asthma-relieving, and anti-infective medications. If you suffer from emphysema, you should seek medical attention and choose the appropriate medication for treatment under the guidance of your doctor.

The medicines for asthma include Dosophylline Tablets, Theophylline Extended-Release Tablets, Ipratropium Bromide, Salbutamol, Tiotropium Bromide, Budesonide Formoterol, Salmeterol Fluticasone, and so on.
When emphysema is combined with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the treatment is mainly based on inhaled bronchodilators, such as salbutamol or terbutaline.
Anti-infective drugs are different depending on the type of pathogen.
Bacterial infections can be treated with cephalosporin, penicillin and other related antibiotics. When caused by viral infection, drugs such as Qingkailing and Pudilan can be used to clear heat and detoxify the body (to remove heat, toxins and evil qi from the body), and antiviral drugs such as oseltamivir and zanamivir can be used if necessary.
If the patient is infected with atypical pathogenic bacteria, azithromycin and erythromycin of macrolides, or levofloxacin and moxifloxacin of quinolones can be used.
