Treatment of asthma with drugs

Today, positive dynamics is achieved in the treatment of bronchial asthma medication. Until recently, with the help of therapy, you could only remove the symptoms of the disease, now it becomes possible to control its course. Thus, it is possible to effectively block the development of the disease, preventing it from progressing at a rapid pace. These features have drugs that are designed for basic asthma therapy.

Such drugs for the treatment of asthma are not effective in the already developed attack of strangulation, their task is to prevent the occurrence of seizures. In this case, a specific inflammation in the bronchi is suppressed, which is considered the cause of their hyperreactivity. To non-hormonal preparations of basic therapy should be attributed intal, tayled, acolat and ketotifen. With the help of these agents, it is possible to suppress the release of substances that damage the bronchial mucosa and cause choking attacks.

The anti-asthmatic effect of hormonal drugs of basic therapy is much stronger. They have sufficiently high anti-inflammatory activity, reliably protecting the bronchi from sclerosing, in other words - from irreversible narrowing. Glucocorticosteroids, which are available in the form of pocket inhalers, effectively act on the bronchial tree only if you follow the correct dosage. Such drugs do not have a significant effect on other organs and important body systems.

To medicinal preparations in the form of inhalations carry bekotid, ingakort, fliksotid and benacort. Prolonged use of these drugs does not cause significant side-effects, only occasionally there may be thrush of the oral cavity or hoarseness of the voice.

As a rule, glucocorticosteroid hormone drugs that are taken orally are prescribed only in case of severe exacerbation of bronchial asthma. The course of treatment with such drugs can not be long, so they will not cause hormonal failure and negative effects. A positive result is a rapid recovery of the initial severely impaired bronchial patency.

Only a small part of patients with bronchial asthma is doomed to a constant intake of tableted hormone preparations. Only with this mode of therapy can you maintain a satisfactory state of health and performance. But in this case it is possible to minimize any possible side effects, observed in a competent specialist.
