The types of inhalers
The first inhaler was invented in 1874. Since these funds are used for inhalation in asthma, have changed dramatically. There are several types of inhalers.
The powder dose inhaler is a device that delivers the airways dose dry powder. The downside can be a high price.
Liquid dose inhalers are available in the form of aerosols. They are easy to use and affordable. To substance has got into the airways by injecting an aerosol, it is necessary to breathe in at the same time.
Spacers - a plastic or metallic flaps which must be mounted on the inhaler. This camera produces the drug only during inspiration. These special features make it easy to process, and inhalation can be used for children. Among the shortcomings can be identified large size of the spacer.
Nebulizers - are devices that spray the drug into small fractions. What enables you to deliver it in the most remote areas of the respiratory tract. By the principle of operation of these devices are divided into ultrasonic and compressor. The size of the nebulizer is much larger than a pocket inhaler, so most of them are at home.

Types of drugs for the treatment of bronchial asthma
In pharmacies you can find various commercial names inhalers. When choosing them, pay attention to the active substance that affects the bronchi.
In general, bronchial asthma drugs are divided into two types: bronchodilators and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Bronchodilators have the following subtypes:
Sympathomimetics stimulate the receptors of the bronchi, expanding their gaps. For example, pirburetol, salbutamol, levalbuterol, terbutaline and others.
M-cholinergic receptor blockers relax the bronchial tubes. The active ingredient is often a Atrovent.
Methylxanthines relaxes bronchial smooth muscle by blocking certain enzymes in the body. Include here drugs such as aminophylline and theophylline.
Anti-inflammatory drugs are based on glucocorticoids. These hormonal agents enhance the effect of the hormone adrenaline and relieve edema from the mucosa of the respiratory tract. For example, fliksotid, bekotid, benacort, ingakort. Patients with severe asthma prescribed glucocorticoid hormone pills, in other cases, patients use a pocket inhaler.
