How does your doctor decide what
medicines are right for you?

Your doctor prescribes specific medications according to the severity of your asthma. In general, there are 2 types of medications: preventative medications and quick-relief (rescue) medications. Most asthma treatments use at least 1 medicine of each type to relieve and control asthma and its symptoms.

If you rely on your quick-relief inhaler more than twice a week, talk to your doctor.
