- SABAs are used for quick relief of asthma symptoms.
- Examples of SABAs include:
- Albuterol (ProAir HFA, ProAir Respiclick, Proventil HFA, Ventolin HFA)
- Levalbuterol (Xopenex)
- Metaprotenerol
- Terbutaline
- Isoprotenerol
Long-Acting Beta Agonists (LABAs)
- LABAs are used for long-term control of asthma symptoms.
- Examples of LABAs include:
- Salmeterol xinafoate (serevent diskus)
- Olodaterol (Striverdi respimat)
- Arformoterol (Brovana)
- Formoterol (Performist)
Inhaled Corticosteroids (ICS)
- ICS are used for long-term control of asthma symptoms.
- Examples of ICS include:
- Beclomethasone dipropionate (QVAR)
- Budesonide (pulmicort flexihaler)
- Fluticasone (Flovent)
- Mometasone (Asmanex)
- Fluticasone furoate (Arnuity Ellipta)
- Ciclesonide (Alvesco)
- Flunisolide (Aerospan)
Combination Inhalers
- Combination inhalers contain two or more active ingredients.
- Examples of combination inhalers include:
- ICS/LABA: Advair (fluticasone/salmeterol), Breo Ellipta (fluticasone/vilanterol), Dulera (mometasone/formoterol), Symbicort (budesonide/formoterol)
