Clear the Air on Asthma Treatment for Kids

January 2026

Over 6 million kids in the US have asthma...and you can help ensure they get the right meds and use them properly.

Medications. Most kids with asthma will need a steroid “controller” med (fluticasone, etc) to reduce lung inflammation and prevent attacks...plus a “reliever” med (albuterol, formoterol) to quickly open airways during an attack.

Expect to dispense these meds as separate inhalers for kids aged 6 to 11 years with milder asthma symptoms...and most kids 5 and under.
