Which type of drugs are used for exercise-induced asthma apart from bronchodilators?

  1. Corticosteroids

  2. Leukotriene receptor antagonists

  3. Mast cell stabilizers

  4. Anticholinergics

The correct answer is: Mast cell stabilizers

Mast cell stabilizers are the more suitable option to treat exercise-induced asthma as they help prevent asthma attacks triggered by physical activities. Corticosteroids are often used as a long-term preventive medication, but they do not provide immediate relief during an exercise-induced asthma attack. Leukotriene receptor antagonists can help reduce inflammation, but they take longer to work and may not provide immediate relief during an attack. Anticholinergics are used for reducing symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and may not be as effective in treating exercise-induced asthma. Therefore, mast cell stabilizers are the most suitable option for managing exercise-induced asthma.
