Used to relieve acute asthma symptoms.
• Albuterol (ProAir HFA, Ventolin HFA, Proventil HFA): Short-acting beta2-agonist (SABA) that relaxes airway muscles.
• Levalbuterol (Xopenex): An alternative SABA with potentially fewer side effects.
Taken daily to prevent symptoms and reduce inflammation.
• Fluticasone (Flovent HFA, Arnuity Ellipta): Commonly used to reduce airway inflammation.
• Budesonide (Pulmicort Flexhaler): A widely prescribed ICS option.
Montelukast (Singulair): Oral medication that blocks inflammation-triggering leukotrienes.
• Salmeterol (Serevent Diskus): Typically used with an ICS for long-term control.
• Formoterol (Foradil): Another LABA option for maintenance therapy.
• Fluticasone/Salmeterol (Advair Diskus): Combines anti-inflammatory and bronchodilator effects.
• Budesonide/Formoterol (Symbicort): A popular combination therapy for moderate to severe asthma.

Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition that causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways. This leads to symptoms like wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. Asthma affects both children and adults and can range from mild to severe.
Triggers such as allergens, respiratory infections, cold air, or physical exertion can cause flare-ups. Although asthma is not curable, it can be managed effectively with medication, trigger avoidance, and lifestyle adjustments. Working with a provider to develop a personalized asthma action plan can help maintain long-term control.
