Exercise Induced Allergic Reactions
Treatment
Drugs used to treat asthma or anaphylaxis Avoidance of possible triggers For people with exercise-induced asthma, the goal of treatment is to be able to exercise without symptoms. Becoming more physically fit may make symptoms less likely to develop during exercise. Inhaling a beta-adrenergic drug (such as Drugs Commonly Used to Treat Asthma ) about 15 minutes before starting to exercise often helps prevent reactions. Cromolyn, usually taken through an inhaler, may be helpful. For people with asthma, taking the drugs usually used to control asthma often prevents symptoms from developing during exercise. Taking drugs to treat asthma and gradually increasing the intensity and duration of exercise enables some people with asthma to tolerate exercise. People who have had an exercise-induced anaphylactic reaction should avoid the form of exercise that triggered the attack. If eating a specific food before exercise triggers symptoms, they should not eat the food before exercise. A self-injecting syringe ofepinephrineshould always be carried for prompt emergency treatment. Exercising with other people is recommended.
