What is the medicine for asthma.

Depens (penicillamine): There are different medications. Depens (penicillamine) how bad asthma is. Starts from simple albuterol pump. Then can be steroids inhaler, tablet for allergy stabiliazation.

Various: There are various categories and brands. Not possible to describe all here. There are preventive medications and rescue medications.

Several: Several medicines are available for the treatment of asthma. In general they include controller medicines ( inhaled steroids, long acting beta agonists, leukotriene blockers) and reliever medications ( short acting bronchodilators). Avoidance of known triggers important as well. In some cases, allergy immunotherapy may play a role as well.

The most common?: Not sure what you mean here, but think of all the kids in school you saw with rescue inhalers for sports and PE class; they are fast acting bronchodilators - at least in the US the vast majority of them contain albuterol. There are a variety of medication that are used everyday to control chronic asthma, but there is a greater variety used for this purpose.Rephrase if you mean something else.

Controller&Relie: Common medicines used for Asthma fall into two groups 1 The controller Medicines which are used to control the inflammation in bronchi which causes asthma,and these are steroids either orally or by inhalation and leukotriene receptor antagonist like singular given orally 2Reliever meds to relieve Bronchospasm and these are called Bronchodilaters,short acting like Albuterol/ Xopenex&long actin

So many: Addressing asthma utilizes many different medications that can address multiple contributors to the asthmatic physiology. Consider trying to make a more specific questions that can more comprehensively be answered in this small

Controllers & Rescue: Rescue meds make you feel better right away. Controllers prevent . If you wheeze, use rescue (Albuterol), If you need rescue twice in a wk, add controller (nebulized or inhaler inflammatory steroids (ICS), if mild montelukast). If you have severe episodes that need oral steroids (Prednisone or Prednisolone) then it is safer to use ICS continuously. Step up or step down treatment as symptoms change

Generally 2 kinds: For asthma that is symptomatic more than twice a week two different kinds of inhalers are most often recommended. One is for rapid relief of symptoms and the other is for maintenance treatment in order to keep the asthma quiet.

Other one are preventers which decrease the inflammation in the airways and help to prevent asthma .They take time to work . GP can access what would is the best inhaler for a person.

Asthma Relievers: Relieving medication usually comes in a blue inhaler & is called salbutamol/ventolin/salamol The medicine needs to get into your lung to work & the best way is to use your inhaler with a spacer device (plastic chamber). This is VERY important. The medication works in a matter of minutes and can be used as/when you have symptoms but sometimes you might need to take extra to control a bad attack.

Step wise treatment: Usually, the treatment starts off with a short acting beta agonist, like albuterol. If this isn't enough, then an inhaled steroid is added. Then, if you need more, a long acting beta agonist/steroid combo is added. During the work up, an IgE level and an allergen panel should be done to see if you would benefit from Xolair.

Depends: There are different aspects to treating asthma. B2 agonists like albuterol work quickly but there are other forms of inhalers that have delayed effects ad there are also preventive ones also. Inhaled steroids and other medications likewise can be prescribed for prevention. Medication is best tailored to the individuals needs.

Many: Usually divided into 2 groups, controller or preventive and rescue medication. Review the treatment for asthma on the NIH site for asthma. Many people have asthma and they require good control. All the best. There is another good resource on the American Academy of Pediatrics website.

Various: There are various categories and brands. Not possible to describe all here. There are preventive medications and rescue medications.

Most commonly: Hi. The most commonly used medicines for asthma are beta-2 agonists, which relax the smooth muscle of the airways, thus increasing the diameter of airways, and improving airflow, and inhaled glucocorticoids, which reduce inflammation in the airways, which reduces signals to constrict airways and increases airflow. In emergencies or acutely severe cases, injected epinephrine , oral or IV glucocorti

Several: Several medicines are available for the treatment of asthma. In general they include controller medicines ( inhaled steroids, long acting beta agonists, leukotriene blockers) and reliever medications ( short acting bronchodilators). Avoidance of known triggers important as well. In some cases, allergy immunotherapy may play a role as well.

Many...: There are many medications that can be used for asthma. For acute wheezing episodes - albuterol in the form of nebulized medication or inhaler is the drug of choice. In an acute flare, your physician may also prescribe an oral steroid.When attacks are frequent, a physician will likely consider one of the many controller medications that are meant to be taken daily. too many to list - talk to doc

Many options...: Bronchodilators such as albuterol (Ventolin, Proventil) or Xopenex (levalbuterol) enlarge the diameter of the airways to help air flow and mucus come out of the lungs. Patients with cough-variant asthma, exercise-induced asthma, or regular asthma also use steroid inhalers (such as Flovent) to reduce swelling, mucus, and "sensitivity" in the airways. Singulair is an additional medication that can be started.
