Describe long-term control and quick relief treatment options for the asthma patient from your practice as well as the impact these drugs might have on your patient.

My practice offers long-term treatment for patients with asthma, including inhaled corticosteroids and leukotriene modulators, as well as mast cell stabilizers. Regularly taking these medications will reduce airway inflammation and help improve lung function. Corticosteroids inhaled are particularly useful for reducing symptoms and severity. They can, however, increase the susceptibility of infection. Leukotriene moderators work by blocking chemicals that narrow the airways, while mast cell stabilisers help to prevent allergic reactions which lead asthmatic attacks.

If you want to get relief quickly from the symptoms of an asthma attack, I suggest short-acting beta agonists like albuterol and ipratropium. These drugs work fast by relaxing the muscles that surround the airways. This allows more oxygen in the lungs. These drugs may also increase heart rate and cause shakiness. Patients should be informed of all possible side effects prior to taking these medications. Patients may also use a rescue combination inhaler to get relief faster, but it should not be used as a replacement for their long-term control medications.
Overall, depending on each patient’s individual condition there are numerous treatment options available that can provide significant improvements in managing their asthma over time; however it is also important for them to understand how different drugs might affect them in order make informed decisions about which ones are most suitable
