Asthma inhalers deliver medication directly to the airways when you breathe in. This targeted approach allows for a much smaller dose compared to oral tablets or liquids. The medication treats the airways and lungs effectively while minimising its presence in the rest of the body.

FAQ's
How do asthma inhalers work?
How can I prevent asthma?
Allergic asthma may be prevented by addressing environmental allergies with allergy shots and other treatments. Additionally, you can reduce the risk of asthma by managing risk factors and being mindful of triggers.
What is the importance of HRCT?
High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) can identify structural abnormalities in asthmatic patients. Doctors frequently use this test for diagnosis, as it can confirm the condition.
