Health Tip: Controlling Asthma Candidates for daily medication
(HealthDay News) -- Medication used to control asthma may be used every day, without the fear of becoming addicted, the American Academy of Family Physicians says. So-called controller medications help prevent inflammation, so users feel better and breathe easier. The academy says the following people may be candidates for a daily controller medication: People who have chest tightness, wheezing or bouts of coughing more than once per week. People whose asthma wakes them up or keeps them up at night. People who have frequent asthma attacks. People who need a quick-relief medication daily to stop asthma attacks.
