Quick-Relief Medications
These medications quickly control acute asthma attacks.
Short-Acting Beta2-Agonists
Beta2-agonists do not reduce inflammation or airway responsiveness but serve as bronchodilators, relaxing and opening constricted airways during an acute asthma attack. A short-acting inhaled beta2-agonist, taken as needed, is often the only medication used by children with chronic mild asthma.
