This post follows on from our last post at Asthma Symptom. Asthma medication takes many forms but primarily there are two main types that are used with inhalers to direct the medication directly to the airways and ensure that almost none of that medication is wasted.
There are preventative inhalers that contain mild steroid medication to gradually reduce the inflammation and swelling of the airways to help to prevent future asthma attacks from taking place.
Then there are the reliever inhalers that contain medication to quickly relieve the symptoms of inflammation and the resultant reduction in the of the size of the airways as they occur.
