OTC inhaler is a non-prescription drug that provides brief relief from minor asthma symptoms such wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath. These inhalers often contain bronchodilators such as epinephrine or racepinephrine, which relax the muscles surrounding the airways, making it easier to breathe. While convenient and accessible, over-the-counter inhalers are not a long-term treatment for chronic asthma or other significant respiratory disorders. They are meant for occasional usage only and should not be used in place of prescribed inhalers or a good asthma care plan. Overuse can cause negative effects or conceal worsening symptoms. If symptoms persist or worsen, you should visit a healthcare expert.
