A reliever such as salbutamol (Ventolin Inhaler) is used when symptoms start. Daily preventers are inhaled corticosteroids: beclometasone (Beclometasone Inhaler), budesonide (Budesonide + Formoterol Inhaler) and fluticasone (Fluticasone + Salmeterol, Seroflo Inhaler). Preventers are taken daily, including on days without symptoms. The long-acting openers salmeterol and formoterol are combined with a steroid. Further options are Montelukast (montelukast) tablets, Tiotropium Inhaler (tiotropium) and Prednisolone (prednisolone) tablets. Pharmacy partners in India ship orders to Malaysia in discreet packaging.
