About Asthma (controller)
Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition requiring ongoing management, often with "controller" medications to prevent symptoms and improve lung function. These daily treatments are vital for long-term lung health, but their cost can be a significant concern. TheDrugClub helps make these essential prescriptions more affordable, ensuring you can access the care you need to breathe freely.
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways that makes breathing difficult. It can cause symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing. Unlike acute illnesses, asthma requires continuous management, even when symptoms aren't present. This is where asthma controller medications play a pivotal role.
Controller medications are designed to prevent asthma symptoms and attacks by reducing airway inflammation and swelling over time. They are taken regularly, usually daily, to keep asthma under control and improve lung function. This is different from "rescue" medications, which are used to quickly relieve sudden asthma symptoms. Relying solely on rescue inhalers indicates that your asthma is not well-controlled, increasing your risk of severe attacks and long-term lung damage.
Common Asthma Controller Medications:
- Inhaled Corticosteroids (ICS): These are the most common and effective controller medications. They work by reducing inflammation in the airways. Examples include fluticasone (Flovent), budesonide (Pulmicort), and mometasone (Asmanex).
- Combination Inhal
