1. Relaxation of Bronchial Muscles: Opens narrowed airways for better airflow.

2. Reduction of Bronchospasm: Prevents airway constriction during asthma attacks or COPD flare-ups.

3. Improved Oxygen Delivery: Enhances oxygenation by facilitating smooth breathing.

4. Symptom Relief: Reduces wheezing, chest tightness, and coughing.
