Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Leukotriene receptor antagonists are medications used to control asthma symptoms and reduce the need for inhaled corticosteroids. They work by blocking the action of leukotrienes, which are substances released by the body in response to allergens that cause inflammation in the airways. Mast cell stabilizers also help control asthma symptoms but do not reduce the need for inhaled corticosteroids. Anticholinergics and adrenergic stimulants are used to treat other respiratory conditions but are not typically used to reduce the need for inhaled corticosteroids in asthma treatment.
