    Inhaled Medications for Asthma

    Inhaled medicines go directly into your lungs where they are needed. There are many kinds of inhalers that require different techniques, and it is important to know how to use your inhaler correctly. Inhaled medications can act as either "rescue" medications when immediate relief is needed or used to control asthma symptoms from occurring.
