Asthma

Montair (Montelukast Sodium) is an oral leukotriene inhibitor prescribed to treat asthma, asthma caused by exercise, or to provide relief from the symptoms of hayfever. The medication works by preventing the release of chemicals caused by allergens to reduce inflammation of the airways allowing easier respiration and preventing asthma attacks from occurring.

Hydrocortisone is a man made version of cortisol, a corticosteroid hormone normally produced by the adrenal glands. The medication should be used by patients diagnosed with Addison’s disease, a condition where the body does not produce enough corticosteroid. The medication can help reduce symptoms such as pain, swelling and allergic reactions in patients with certain forms of arthritis, asthma, skin, blood, kidney, eye, thyroid and intestinal disorders. Some patients may also use the drug to treat certain types of cancer.

Flixotide inhaler is considered a corticosteroid consisting of the active ingredient fluticasone propionate. When inhaled into the lungs, the medication can decrease excess mucus formation and inflammation to allow easier breathing for patients. It is a preventative inhaler for asthma when used regularly. Some people may also use the medication to treat emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and chronic bronchitis.

The Serobid Inhaler containing the active ingredient salmeterol is a long acting beta agonist (LABA) that can relax and open the air passages in the lungs to allow for easier breathing. It is used as a maintenance and preventative treatment for shortness of breath, chest tightness, coughing and wheezing caused by asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Some people may also use the inhaler to prevent bronchospasms caused by exercising.
