asthma medications

Asthma medications help manage and prevent asthma symptoms by easing breathing. They fall into two main categories: relievers and preventers. Relievers, like short-acting inhalers, quickly open up swollen airways during an asthma attack. Preventers, such as inhaled corticosteroids, reduce inflammation and prevent attacks when used regularly. Some medications combine both functions. It’s important for asthma sufferers to follow their doctor's instructions for using these medications to maintain control over their condition and improve their quality of life. Proper management can significantly reduce the frequency and severity of asthma symptoms.
