Can an air purifier replace the need for asthma medication?
No, but air purifiers can definitely help reduce the amount of medication needed by you or a family member. Many asthma medications that asthmatics take are reactive, meaning they are taken to relieve asthma attacks which are generally caused by environmental triggers. Removing environmental triggers such as airborne allergens and contaminates from the air will decrease asthma problems, therefore enabling a reduction in medication. Considering all of the side effects and financial costs imposed by asthma medications, investing in an air purifier is a good decision.
