How long would it take for asthma to make perminente damge to lungs useing only albuteral as needed ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Change prevention: The structure of the lungs of asthmatics can change permanently after years of inadequate control. We strive to prevent these changes by using bronchodilators (either short or long acting) with or without inhaled steroids. The asthma regimen depends on the frequency and severity of symptoms. If you are needing your MDI more than a couple of times a month, you may need more than albuterol.
