Abstract:
:This article assesses the role of pharmacotherapy in the management of respiratory muscle dysfunction. It focuses on two classes of drugs, the methylxanthines and the sympathomimetic agents. A prospective section focuses also on the particularities of the diaphragm among the skeletal striated muscles. In addition, a new approach to respiratory pharmacotherapy, which may be beneficial in patients with respiratory muscle dysfunction, is suggested.
