What medicine does asthma take

summary

Asthma is a very complex and serious respiratory disease. Drugs are the main means of treatment, and correct medication is very important. Now let's take a look at what medicine to take for asthma.

What medicine does asthma take

Drug 1: inhale hormone. Inhaled hormone can reduce airway inflammation, improve lung function, relieve symptoms, reduce the number of acute attacks, reduce the degree of acute attacks, and improve the quality of life. At present, the main types of inhaled hormones in China are: bicolone, Pulmicort (scientific name budesonide), Seretide. The dosage of inhaled hormones is different for patients with different severity. The specific dosage of inhaled hormone for a specific patient is determined by the doctor. However, the use of hormone is a lot of taboo, to ensure the correct use of drugs, to avoid side effects.

Drug 2: sodium cromoglycate. It is a non hormonal anti-inflammatory drug. Its mechanism of action is to inhibit mast cells to release inflammatory mediators. It can inhibit bronchospasm caused by allergens, exercise and cold air. It is mainly used for mild persistent asthma. It can relieve symptoms and reduce attack frequency, but its effect is worse than inhaled hormone. The advantage is that the side effects are very small, and only occasionally cause cough after inhalation. At present, its use has been significantly reduced.

Drug 3: theophylline. Theophylline is a kind of bronchodilator, which has been well known for its therapeutic effect on asthma. However, recent studies have also found that small dose of theophylline has anti-inflammatory effect.

matters needing attention

Asthma should be prepared for long-term treatment (medication for at least three months) before it can be completely cured. Patients should pay attention to diet nutrition, enhance the body's resistance, and provide good conditions for treatment.
