Control the cause and reduce the severity of asthma.

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the bronchial tubes , causing bronchial tubes to narrow. Symptoms often come and go. When symptoms occur, it is called an asthma exacerbation. Common symptoms include wheezing , coughing , chest tightness, and shortness of breath. These symptoms vary in severity. Many times, an asthma exacerbation is so severe that respiratory failure requires intubation or death.
