Key Takeaways:

Asthma inhalers help people breathe better.

They work by opening airways, reducing inflammation, or preventing symptoms. Some act quickly (like Ventolin for fast relief), while others (like Seretide or Clenil Modulite) help control asthma long-term.

There are different types of asthma medications.

Inhalers are the most common, but there are also tablets like Montelukast, which help manage symptoms. All prescription asthma medications should be used as advised by a doctor.
