To manage long-term asthma effectively, we focus on two main types of medications: Daily Controller Inhalers: These prevent attacks by reducing airway inflammation. They typically contain inhaled corticosteroids (like fluticasone or budesonide), sometimes combined with long-acting bronchodilators (like salmeterol). Quick-Relief (Rescue) Inhalers: These quickly open your airways during sudden symptoms, using medicines like salbutamol. For optimal control, use your controller daily even when feeling well, and avoid known triggers. Please consult your doctor to create a personalized asthma action plan and ensure proper inhaler technique.
