Asthma
Asthma is a long-term lung condition in which the airways are unusually sensitive. A trigger inflames them, they narrow, and breathing becomes difficult; day-to-day symptoms are often mild but can flare into an asthma attack.

Key points
- Reliever inhalers open the airways within minutes during an attack, while preventers work in the background to stop attacks happening.
- There is no cure, but asthma can be managed and treated well enough to live normally.
- Wheezing, coughing, chest tightness and difficulty breathing are the common signs in adults and adolescents.
- Triggers vary between people, and avoiding or managing your own helps control the condition.
Medicines listed for Asthma
The six products on this page span two delivery forms: three inhalers and three tablets. The inhalers pair an inhaled corticosteroid such as Budesonide with a long-acting bronchodilator (Formoterol or Salmeterol), or deliver the corticosteroid alone. The tablets include Montelukast, a leukotriene receptor antagonist taken by mouth, and Salbutamol, a short-acting bronchodilator.
