Yeah, I get that. I suggested what I did to make sure your doctors get that. There may be "acute" medicines that are slower to take effect but would have fewer side effects, if you used them paired with the albuterol, for example. I don't know - there's hints on the web that suggest that such is the case (and they're not talking about the preventatives, like Singulair, as far as I can see), but I don't know how much of that is crap - the internet is full of it, after all.
