To Take Asthma Medicine is Basics of Rescue Inhalers.

The most common class of rescue inhalers is the beta-agonist bronchodilator. Beta-agonist drugs provide short-acting, quick relief when symptoms like wheezing, coughing, and chest tightness flare — whether it’s from a friend’s cat, summer pollen, a dusty house, or a run on a cold day.

“Standard albuterol is probably one of the most frequently used beta-agonists,” says Richard Honsinger, MD, a spokesman for the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. Along with albuterol, other short-acting beta-agonists are available by prescription, including levalbuterol, metaproterenol sulfate, pirbuterol, and terbutaline. These drugs work by relaxing the bronchial smooth muscle in the lung, opening the airways and allowing more oxygen in as you breathe.
