Asthma : Flixotide,Flovent,Atrovent,Serevent,Ventolin,Tilade,Spiriva,Foradil,Aerolizer
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways in which the smaller passages of the lungs narrow. This causes wheezing, shortness of breath, mucus production and coughing.
Symptoms can be controlled using anti-inflammatory drugs, bronchodilators, or leukotriene modifiers. Some of these drugs are preventative medications that must be taken on a regular basis (but cannot be used to treat acute attacks), while other are relief medications.
Anti-inflammatory drugs prevent asthma attacks and usually contain corticosteroids to reduce swelling and mucus production.
Bronchodilators are drugs used torelieve the symptoms of an asthma attack by clearing mucus from the lungs and reducing swollen airways.
Combination:
Leukotriene modifier:
Atrovent Inhaler, a preventative medicine, contains the active ingredient ipratropium bromide, which is a type of medicine called an antimuscarinic bronchodilator. Ipratropium bromide works by opening the airways, making it easier to breathe. More details
Combivent, a preventative drug, contains two active ingredients: ipratropium bromide and salbutamol sulphate. This combination of medicines has an additive effect in opening the airways, and makes it easier to breathe in conditions where the airways tighten. More details
Flixotide is a corteosteroid that reduces the swelling of the air passages, making breathing easier. Flixotide is a preventative drug and must be taken regularly to be effective. More details
Flixotide is a corteosteroid that reduces the swelling of the air passages, making breathing easier. Flixotide is a preventative drug and must be taken regularly to be effective. More details
Flovent Diskus, a preventative drug, is a corteosteroid that reduces the swelling of the air passages associated with asthma, making breathing easier. Flovent Diskus is different from the Flixotide Accuhaler in that it is easier for children to use. Flovent Diskus is breath-activated, and most children over 4 years of age can use this device. More details
Foradil Aerolizer is used for the long-term, twice-daily administration in the maintenance treatment of bronchoconstriction in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. More details
Seretide is a combination inhaler containing fluticasone, a preventative drug which reduces the inflammation in the airways and makes them less sensitive to attacks. It also contains salmeterol, a symptom controlling drug, which relaxes and opens the airway muscles. More details
Seretide is a combination inhaler containing fluticasone, a preventative drug which reduces the inflammation in the airways and makes them less sensitive to attacks. It also contains salmeterol, a symptom controlling drug, which relaxes and opens the airway muscles. More details
Serevent contains Salmeterol, a long-acting bronchodilator, which works by opening the airways and making breathing easier. It is used for people 12 years of age and older who are also using other medications (such as accuhaler corticosteroids) to treat their asthma. More details
Serevent contains Salmeterol, a long-acting bronchodilator, which works by opening the airways and making breathing easier. It is used for people 12 years of age and older who are also using other medications (such as inhaled corticosteroids) to treat their asthma. More details
The fluticasone in Seroflo, or Generic Advair, reduces inflammation in the air passages, while the salmeterol relaxes and opens the air passages. It is a preventative medication, taken twice a day. More details
Singulair works by blocking leukotrienes (airway-swelling chemicals released when triggered by allergens) which prevents asthma attacks. More details
Spiriva contains the active ingredient tiotropium, which is an antimuscarinic or anticholinergic bronchodilator. Tiotropium blocks the muscarinc receptors in the lungs and therefore stops the action of acetylcholines. One inhaled dose of Spiriva lasts 24 hours. More details
Tilade (Nedocromil) works by acting on certain inflammatory cells in the lungs to prevent them from releasing substances that cause asthma symptoms and/or bronchospasm. When it is used regularly, nedocromil lessens the number and severity of asthma attacks by reducing inflammation in the lungs. More details
Ventolin is a fast-acting albuterol inhaler. It works by opening the airways in your lungs to ease breathing during an asthma attack—it can be used as a rescue medicine to help relieve your sudden asthma symptoms when they occur. More details
