Relief from many asthma medications will NOT be instantaneous. Asthma is on the increase in this country and so are deaths related to this condition. Prescribed inhalants of corticosteroids are effective with moderate to severe symptoms in over half of the patients tested at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. The relief isn´t instantaneous - the medication must be used regularly over a period of time. Doctors are finding that when patients fail to see immediate improvement, they stop taking the medication. This puts them at risk for serious asthma attacks.

LEARN about the medication given you, follow instructions and ask questions if you are confused. If the asthma continues to be a problem, see your doctor, but don´t make a decision to stop the medication on your own.
