Treating exercise-induced asthma is preventive. Several agents seem to be effective and are easily adapted for both children and adults.
B2-Adrenergic Agonists
The B2-adrenergic agonists are effective in preventing exercise-induced asthma. If a short-acting agent is given ten to fifteen minutes before exertion the immediate bronchoconstriction may be completely blocked. The long-acting B2-agonists such as
salmeterol may be particularly helpful since their lengthy duration may also block the late phase attack. Remember, however, that long-acting B-agonists take longer to become effective so should be given thirty to forty-five minutes before exercise begins.
