What are Long-acting beta agonist (LABA) inhalers NOT used for?

Acute treatment
Long-term control
Preventing bronchospasms
Reducing inflammation

The correct answer is: Acute treatment

Long-acting beta agonist (LABA) inhalers are not used for acute treatment of symptoms. They are instead used for long-term control of asthma or COPD symptoms. This is because LABA inhalers do not provide immediate relief of symptoms during an acute attack. They take longer to start working and are more effective for preventing bronchospasms and reducing inflammation over a longer period of time. Therefore, they are not recommended for acute treatment and are not a suitable option for fast relief of symptoms.
