Your healthcare provider may prescribe a “pre-treatment” to use 10-15 minutes before exercise. A pre-treatment is a medicine you inhale that prevents asthma symptoms during and after exercise. In most cases, a beta-agonist medicine that quickly opens the airways is used for pre-treatment. Examples of this medicine include: Proventil®, Proventil HFA®, Ventolin® (albuterol); Maxair® (pirbuterol) and Xopenex® (levalbuterol). Other medicines, such as Intal® (cromolyn sodium) or Tilade® (nedocromil sodium) may be prescribed. Some people need to take long-term control medication every day for complete control of exercise-induced asthma.
