Asthma is a chronic (long-lasting) inflammatory
disease of the airways. Asthma is a chronic condition involving the respiratory
system in which the airways occasionally constrict, become inflamed, and are
lined with excessive amounts of mucus, often in response to one or more triggers.
In those susceptible to asthma, this inflammation causes the airways to narrow
periodically. This, in turn, produces wheezing and breathlessness, sometimes
to the point where the patient gasps for air. Obstruction to air flow either
stops spontaneously or responds to a wide range of treatments, but continuing
inflammation makes the airways hyper-responsive to stimuli such as cold air,
exercise, dust mites, pollutants in the air, and even stress and anxiety.
Treatment of Asthma
The most effective treatment for asthma is identifying triggers,
such as pets or aspirin, and limiting or eliminating exposure to them. If trigger
avoidance is insufficient, medical treatment is available. Desensitization is
currently the only known "cure" to the disease. Other forms of treatment
include relief medication, prevention medication, long-acting B2-agonists, and
emergency treatment.

Singulair
MONTELUKAST (Singulair) is used for prevention and long-term treatment of asthma. It is also used to relieve allergy symptoms. Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist. It works by blocking a substance called leukotriene, which helps to decrease certain asthma and allergy symptoms.
SALMETEROL XINAFOATE (Serevent®) relaxes the muscles in the walls of the bronchial tubes, allowing the passageways to expand and carry more air. Taken regularly (twice a day), the drug is used in the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) including emphysema and chronic bronchitis. A relatively long-acting medication, it is recommended only for the type of asthma patient who needs shorter-acting bronchodilators such as Alupent and Ventolin on a frequent, regular basis
