Living with asthma doesn't have to mean constantly relying on quick-relief inhalers. Long-term controller inhalers offer a proactive approach to managing your asthma, helping you prevent symptoms and breathe easier every day.

What are Long-Term Controller Inhalers?

Unlike quick-relief inhalers used during attacks, long-term controllers work differently. They contain medication taken daily to:

• Reduce airway inflammation: This prevents the narrowing of airways that triggers symptoms like wheezing and shortness of breath.
• Improve lung function: This allows you to breathe more easily and participate in activities you enjoy.
• Prevent asthma attacks: By addressing the underlying inflammation, controller inhalers significantly reduce the likelihood of experiencing sudden flare-ups.

Who Benefits from Long-Term Controller Inhalers?

If you experience:

• Regular asthma symptoms: More than twice a week or needing quick-relief inhalers frequently.
• Nighttime symptoms: Waking up due to asthma issues.
• Exercise-induced asthma: Symptoms triggered by physical activity.
• Difficulty controlling your asthma with quick-relief inhalers alone.

Then a long-term controller inhaler could significantly improve your quality of life.
