    Short acting bronchodilators and long acting bronchodilators

    Metro are trains & trains are long. So any drug with "metro" like word is long acting.

    List of long acting bronchodilators:
    Salmeterol
    Formoterol or Eformoterol
    Arformoterol

    But is a small word. So any drug with the word, "but" is short acting.
    List of short acting bronchodilators:
    Salbutamol or Albuterol
    Terbutaline
    Levalbuterol

    This is just a general guide I made for myself for inhaled preparations and may not apply to all drugs. Example, Terbutaline oral is long acting.
    Also bambuterol has a "but" but it is long acting!
