How can I Find Asthma Treatment?

Asthma treatment comes in two forms.

During an asthma attack, the airways become irritated and react by narrowing , causing resistance to airflow, and obstructing the flow of the air passages to and from the lungs. When this is occuring asthma treatment is needed quickly.

There are two main types of medicines for treatments of asthma:

Quick Relief Medicines: also called relievers, give rapid, short-term treatment and are taken when you have worsening asthma episodes or attacks. You will feel the effects of these medicines within minutes.

Long-Term Control Medicines: also called preventers, are taken every day, usually over long periods of time, to control chronic symptoms and to prevent asthma episodes or attacks.
