<s>[INST] What effects do anti-inflammatory medications have? [/INST] Asthma is caused by inflammation of the airways, which makes them become red, swollen, narrower and extra-sensitive to irritants. Anti-inflammatory medicines (controllers) relieve this inflammation, so that the swelling goes down and further swelling is prevented, the narrowing due to muscle tightening is reduced, and the airways become less sensitive to asthma triggers.Anti-inflammatory medications are very effective and can control asthma in most people. The most effective anti-inflammatory medicines are the inhaled glucocorticosteroids, such as budesonide, beclomethasone and fluticasone. Source: Ginasthma. Link: https://ginasthma.org/about-us/faqs/.
