What drugs are the most effective for stopping/reversing asthma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inflammation: Asthma is caused by inflammation in the lungs and hyperreactive airways. Acute treatment involves medications like albuterol, which acutely open up those airways. Chronic therapy is aimed at reducing inflammation like inhaled steroids.
