Leukotriene and eotaxin cause later,prolonged inflammatory responses in asthma,which can be blocked by drugs like montelukast (Singulair),zafirlukast (Accolate),and zileuton (Zyflo).No evidence suggests that aspirin helps this inflammatory response.Histamine starts an immediate inflammatory response,which can be blocked by drugs like diphenhydramine (Benadryl).Bitolterol (Tornalate)is a short-acting beta agonist that will enhance bronchodilation during an asthma attack,but it will not assist in controlling late inflammation.
