Asthma medication

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory condition of the airways, which is a reversible spasm of the airways, and with antispasmodic and wheezing medications, patients can return to normal life. Antispasmodic and wheezing medications include beta agonists, cholinergic inhibitors, etc. Among them, beta agonists include long-acting beta agonists and short-acting beta agonists, long-acting ones such as formoterol and salmeterol; short-acting ones include salbutamol and terbutaline, etc. Short-acting cholinergic receptor inhibitors include ipratropium bromide; long-acting ones are tiotropium bromide, etc. In addition to beta agonists and cholinergic receptor inhibitors, there are also theophylline drugs for asthma, such as theophylline extended-release tablets, aminophylline, doxorubicin, and dihydroxypropyl theophylline. In addition to these two types of drugs, there are also glucocorticoids. If asthma is difficult to be controlled by these three drugs, glucocorticoids can be added to the treatment, and anti-infection treatment can be given when necessary.
