Which inhalers are considered the best for asthma?

Relief vs. control: Every patient with asthma needs a quick relief inhaler and the most common is albuterol or the isomer lev-albuterol (same effect with less amount of medication.) for controller medications, corticosteroid inhalers (qvar, flovent, pulmicort, asmanex) are very similar except Qvar is very small size and better lung deposition. For more severe asthma, advair, symbicort (budesonide and formoterol) and dulera--all work well.

Very difficult: Whether you asthma is persistent and how sever will determine which inhalers you should be using. "intermittent" asthma has infrequent attacks and can be controlled with just a rescue inhaler. The persistent form requires other therapies plus the rescue inhaler. Get tested by your physician to determine which category you are. Good Luck
