Tag: Lung capacity

While no medication can physically increase the size of healthy lungs, pharmacological treatments can significantly improve functional lung capacity for those with chronic respiratory diseases. Understanding **what drugs are used to increase lung capacity** involves recognizing how different medication classes, such as bronchodilators and anti-inflammatories, work to open airways and reduce inflammation caused by conditions like COPD and asthma.

Respiratory muscle training (RMT) is a technique used to strengthen the muscles involved in breathing, such as the diaphragm [2.4.2]. Devices like Oxybreez are designed to facilitate this training by providing resistance during inhalation and exhalation, potentially improving respiratory fitness and performance [1.2.1, 2.5.2].
