Understanding Asthma with a Red Inhaler

[shophiajons]

A red asthma inhaler is typically a rescue inhaler, also known as a short-acting beta agonist (SABA) inhaler. These inhalers contain medication like albuterol, which works quickly to open up the airways during an asthma attack or when experiencing symptoms like shortness of breath or wheezing. The red color is often used to help differentiate it from other types of inhalers, such as those containing maintenance medications like corticosteroids. Individuals with asthma need to carry their rescue inhaler with them at all times for immediate relief during asthma flare-ups.
