Something like Intal would be a much better choice for exercise-induced asthma. Why it is that so many physicians think that Albuterol is preventive is waaaaaay beyond me, because as you stated, it's a bronchodilator to be used when the patient is bronchospasming.

Albuterol is not long -acting enough to prevent anything. <BR/><BR/>I wont even deal with internists anymore. If I have a question regarding improper use of bronchodialators ,I deal directly with the Pulmonologist...and sometimes even they're wrong.<BR/><BR/>Old habits are hard to break,but stick to your guns on this one. Albuterol is a fast acting ,short lived, bronchodialator. Does nothing more, nothing less ( except maybe treat Hyperkalemia ).baycitywalker.combaycitywalker.comnoreply@blogger.com
