How is asthma treated?

Depending on the frequency at which the symptoms appear, there are a series of steps of medical treatment where the key piece is the inhalers or ‘sprays’. These can carry a drug or several drugs according to the needs of the patient. In patients with few symptoms, it will be enough to have a rapid bronchodilator to open the airway in a few minutes. In other patients who experience the symptoms more frequently, they will often require an inhaler that carries corticosteroids to deflate that airway. In addition, there are other oral drugs such as Montelukast, oral corticosteroids, and other drugs for very specific cases such as Omalizumab.
