Asthma medicine

Asthma medicines are pharmaceutical treatments designed to manage and alleviate the symptoms of asthma, a chronic respiratory condition characterized by airway inflammation and narrowing. There are two main types of asthma medications: quick-relief (rescue) and long-term (controller) medications. Quick-relief medications, such as albuterol, provide rapid relief from acute symptoms like wheezing and shortness of breath. Long-term medications, like inhaled corticosteroids or leukotriene modifiers, aim to control inflammation and prevent asthma attacks over time. These medications come in various forms, including inhalers, pills, and nebulizers, and are prescribed based on the severity and individual needs of the patient to effectively manage and improve their quality of life.
