Question: 1 / 1820

Which medication is taken 5-15 mins before exercise to prevent Exercise-Induced Bronchospasm?

LABA

LAMA

SABA or low-dose ICS plus formoterol

For preventing Exercise-Induced Bronchospasm, the preferred medication option is a Short-Acting Beta Agonist (SABA) or low-dose Inhaled Corticosteroid (ICS) plus formoterol taken 5-15 minutes before exercise. These medications help to open up the airways, making it easier to breathe during physical activity. Long-Acting Beta Agonists (LABA) and Long-Acting Muscarinic Antagonists (LAMA) are not typically used for immediate relief before exercise, and corticosteroids are not recommended for quick symptom relief in this context.
