Treatment of Adult Asthma
WebMD: Better information. Better health.
 
Treating adult asthma is a team effort between you and your doctor. Treatment usually goes in steps: You start with one kind of medicine and then change or add medications if you need to. Once your asthma is under control for 3 months, your doctor might remove a medication or prescribe one that isn't as strong.
Basic Treatments

No matter what causes your asthma, your doctor will probably suggest two kinds of medicine. One is a rescue inhaler. It's for quick relief when an attack comes. You breathe through the mouthpiece of a small puffer to help open the airways in your lungs when your chest feels tight. The other kind is to help control your asthma day to day and prevent attacks. It could be a pill or something you inhale.
Other Treatments

In addition, your doctor will want to fine-tune your plan, depending on what type of asthma you have. Different types can have different triggers, so your doctor will coach you on ways to avoid your triggers and prevent attacks.
