Now let's talk about it.

How is asthma treated

First: beta adrenergic receptor agonists are the most commonly used bronchodilators, and they are the first choice to control the acute attack of asthma. Salbutamol is the most commonly used drug, and inhalation method is the first choice. This kind of drug directly acts on the respiratory tract by inhalation, resulting in increased local concentration and rapid action. Due to the small dose, systemic adverse reactions are also less.

Second: anticholinergic drugs are also more common bronchodilators, the most commonly used is ipratropium bromide, which can reduce the secretion of sputum, especially for patients with asthma and phlegm at night. Combined use of beta agonists can enhance the curative effect, 3 times a day, 25 ~ 75 micrograms each time can effectively maintain the curative effect and reduce the attack of asthma symptoms.

Third: the drugs to control and prevent asthma attack are mainly glucocorticoids. The commonly used drug is beclomethasone, which is the most commonly used drug for inhalation treatment of asthma. It is generally 200 ~ 500 μ g per day, which can control asthma attack well, and has less adverse reactions. A few patients will have hoarseness side effects.

matters needing attention

The therapeutic effect of asthma varies from person to person. Drug control is very important, and it is more important to reduce the impact of allergens in the environment on patients. At the same time, due to inhalation treatment, the dosage of drugs taken each time should not be too large, otherwise there will be a lot of adverse reactions.
