Resumen

Hoy día, en el mundo, los inhaladores de acción larga son herramientas fundamentales para el tratamiento de las enfermedades broncoobstructivas. Su uso está avalado por consensos internacionales ampliamente difundidos y reconocidos mundialmente, como son las Guías GINA 2017 y las Guías GOLD 2017, entre otros. En Colombia, desde hace varios años, la comunidad médica dispone de varias presentaciones comerciales de inhaladores solos o en diferentes combinaciones. Por tanto, se consideró pertinente realizar una revisión de los conceptos fisiológicos fundamentales, de los principios farmacológicos, de los mecanismos de acción, de la farmacodinamia y farmacocinética. Igualmente, con base en la evidencia disponible al momento de la realización de este artículo, se revisarán las indicaciones clínicas para su uso en las diferentes enfermedades broncoobstructivas.
