A rescue inhaler, also known as a reliever inhaler, is a medication device commonly used by individuals with respiratory conditions such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It contains a fast-acting bronchodilator medication that helps open up airways during an asthma attack or breathing difficulties. This medication quickly eases symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. Rescue inhalers offer rapid relief, but they do not treat the underlying cause of the condition. They are an essential tool for managing acute respiratory symptoms and improving the patient's quality of life.
