How Do I Treat Asthma?

Asthma Medications

The main way to prevent asthma is by avoiding your asthma triggers – and medications.

Once a proper asthma diagnosis is made, specific asthma medications can be prescribed to help manage your asthma and prevent asthma attacks.

Generally, asthma medications are either short term quick relief medications (also called rescue inhalers) or long term control medications.

If your asthma is caused by allergies which are triggered by allergens such as animal dander or pollen, you may also need allergy treatment in addition to your asthma medications. Click here to read up on allergies for more information.

Please check each individual specific medication for complete detailed information on side effects, dosage, directions, etc. Please see your physician or health care provider if you experience side effects from any medications you are taking.

By understanding how asthma medications work, you can be informed when you work with your doctor to develop your treatment plan that will work for you. If you think you might have asthma or are experiencing any symptoms of asthma, please see your doctor and discuss asthma medication options suitable for you.
