Combination Medications
Combination medications have both a long-term controller medication, an inhaled steroid, and a long-acting bronchodilator, formoterol or salmeterol. This medication helps control asthma, prevents symptoms and open airways.
- Budesonide/Formoterol (Symbicort)
- Fluticasone/Salmeterol (Advair)
- Mometasone/Formoterol (Dulera)
At times, a doctor will recommend that the same med is used for both controller and reliever.
Other Medications: There are other medications that may be prescribed depending on your child’s asthma severity.
