Asthma

Asthma medications are crucial in managing this condition by reducing airway inflammation, relieving symptoms, and preventing future exacerbations. These medications are generally classified into two main categories: controller medications and rescue medications. Controller medications, such as inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting bronchodilators, are taken daily to maintain long-term asthma control and reduce the frequency and severity of symptoms. Rescue medications, such as short-acting bronchodilators or inhalers, provide quick relief during acute asthma attacks by rapidly relaxing the muscles surrounding the airways. By working closely with healthcare providers to develop a personalized asthma action plan and adhering to prescribed medications, individuals with asthma can effectively manage their condition and maintain an active, healthy lifestyle.
