Asthma Drugs

Asthma Drug Information

There are four major asthma drugs: Bronchodilators, Anti-Inflammatory drugs, Leukotriene blockers and Anti-Ige medications. Once you’ve been diagnosed with asthma, your doctor may prescribe more than one asthma medication to relieve asthma symptoms and control asthma for the long-term. Below you’ll find a list of common drugs prescribed to treat the condition.

    I'm surprised to see Accolate up there, I take it but whenever I go into hospital I have to explain to the docs what it is and what I take it for, maybe it's more common in the USA than here.

    Xolair!  See if you qualify and then see if it helps.  It isn't a huge difference but it is a subtle improvement.  I take what I can get.
