Meds for Allergy and Asthma
Common medications used in the treatment of allergy and/or asthma symptoms are available either over-the-counter or by prescription. With less severe allergies, symptoms can often be controlled by medications on an as-needed basis. When more severe symptoms occur, medications, in conjunction with immunotherapy can be very useful.Several different classes of medications are available:
- Antihistamines
- Corticosteroids
- Bronchodilators
- Leukotriene Modifiers
- Non-medications
All medications require a discussion with your doctor about possible drug interactions (including herbal solutions), other medical conditions and side effects.
