“So, doc, what do you suggest?” asked Mrs. Priya. “Mrs. Priya, treatment for Sameer will involve two inhalers – a reliever and a preventer.” “An inhaler is a device that contains medication for asthma. When actuated, the medicine is breathed into the lungs and goes directly to the airways.” “A reliever is a medication, usually a blue inhaler that will give on-the-spot relief to Sameer by relaxing his airways. It can be used to treat symptoms of both asthma and an asthma attack. So, I need Sameer to have this at home at all times.” “A preventer is a medication, that reduces swelling and inflammation in airways, prevents asthma attacks and permanent airway changes. This is the medicine Sameer will use, on a long-term basis. This medicine is available in different colors and for Sameer, it will be orange.” Inhalers to Make Sameer Better 27 » There are two types of inhalers – relievers and preventers. when used as prescribed, these two inhalers are extremely safe and effective.
