Answer 3

Asthma is an allergy and is triggered by something. The best non medication treatment for asthma is learning your triggers and avoiding them. Common triggers are smoke, dust, mold, mildew, plants, dust mites, pets and grass/weeds.

If you can not figure our your triggers, you may need to see an allergist and have allergy screening done. This may point out your triggers.

The National Asthma Prevention Program and the Expert Panel of Diagnosis and Management of Asthma both agree if you have to use a prescription inhaler such as albuterol more then two time per week, your asthma is NOT in control and you will need a prescription controller medication.

Controller medications are steroids (Asthmacort Asthmanex, Flovent, Pulmocort), Leukotriene modifier (Singulair, Aculade, Zyflo) or mast cell stabilizers (Cromolyn sodium, Intal, Tilade).

You may want to talk to your doctor about several strong controller medications and maybe Xolair shots.

If you want a proven, all-natural way to cure your asthma, without having to pay for useless medications with harmful side-effects, then this is the most important page you'll ever read.

Answer 4

YES, OF COURSE!

Prevention medication for asthma:

Current treatment protocols recommend prevention medications such as an inhaled corticosteroid, which helps to suppress inflammation and reduces the swelling of the lining of the airways, in anyone who has frequent (greater than twice a week) need of relievers or who has severe symptoms. If symptoms persist, additional preventive drugs are added until the asthma is controlled. With the proper use of prevention drugs, asthmatics can avoid the complications that result from overuse of relief medications.

Asthmatics sometimes stop taking their preventive medication when they feel fine and have no problems breathing. This often results in further attacks, and no long-term improvement.

Preventive agents include the following.

Inhaled glucocorticoids (ciclesonide, fluticasone, budesonide, beclomethasone, mometasone, flunisolide, and triamcinolone).
Leukotriene modifiers (montelukast, zafirlukast, pranlukast, and zileuton).
Mast cell stabilizers (cromoglicate (cromolyn), and nedocromil).
Antimuscarinics/anticholinergics (ipratropium, oxitropium, and tiotropium), which have a mixed reliever and preventer effect. (These are rarely used in preventive treatment of asthma, except in patients who do not tolerate beta-2-agonists.)
Methylxanthines (theophylline and aminophylline), which are sometimes considered if sufficient control cannot be achieved with inhaled glucocorticoids and long-acting β-agonists alone.
Antihistamines, often used to treat allergic symptoms that may underlie the chronic inflammation. In more severe cases, hyposensitization ("allergy shots") may be recommended.
Omalizumab, an IgE blocker; this can help patients with severe allergic asthma that does not respond to other drugs.


That's My Best Answer. Hope it can help!.

Answer 5

Aloe Vera Drinking Gel

Also AVOID Aspartame as this causes asthma.

Answer 6

Cortico-steroids.
Prednisolone tablets are used for acute episodes.
Regular inhaled Becotide long term.

(NOT Ibrufen, which can cause problems for asthmatics, NOT salbutamol which is a broncho-dilator not anti-inflammatory)

Answer 7

Not sure if this is an anti-inflammatory but prednisone is one drug used for asthma.

Answer 8

DON'T take ibuprofen, aleve, Advil, naprosyn -- naproxen,
or Motrin. There are many others that asthmatic people can not take. Ask you Doctor or your pulmonologist or your local pharmacist.
be very careful what you do take with asthma.

Answer 9

Steroids are used a lot, mainly inhaled but I found a link with many different medications (listed as my source).

Answer 10

Sabutimol
