well there is albuterol which is probably the most popular one. its also called ventolin and proventil http://www.medicinenet.com/albuterol/article.htm its a bronchodialtor which opens up the airways to allows more oxygen in. it leaves you feeling shaky and increases the heart rate

then there is atrovent. http://www.webmd.com/drugs/mono-5222-IPRATROPIUM+-+INHALATION+SOLUTION.aspx?drugid=3702&drugname=Atrovent+Inhl with this one people tend to bring up a lot of secrestions as it helps to loosen secretions

im just going to list the rest that i know and you can look it up
advair
xopenex
spriva
pulmicort
prednisone
symbicort
spiriva
singulair
theophylline
