Reliever Medications

Relievers (quick acting) – blue/grey coloured medications


Relievers help to open up your airways by relaxing the tightened muscles surrounding your airways. These medicines may provide relief almost straight away and are the "First Aid" treatment of asthma symptoms. They should stop your symptoms for 4 to 6 hours. You should carry this medication with you at all times.Photo of "Reliever"
