Asthma Therapy Alternatives

In short: Asthma Therapy (ARSENIC TRIOXIDE - HISTAMINE DIHYDROCHLORIDE - DERMATOPHAGOIDES PTERONYSSINUS - MAGNESIUM PHOSPHATE, DIBASIC TRIHYDRATE - STRYCHNOS NUX-VOMICA SEED - ASPIDOSPERMA QUEBRACHO-BLANCO BARK - SUPLHUR -), also sold under the brand name Asthma Therapy, belongs to the Standardized Insect Allergenic Extract class. The medications listed below either share that mechanism of action or have been clinically validated as substitutes when Asthma Therapy is unsuitable due to side effects, cost, availability, or contraindications.

When to consider an alternative to Asthma Therapy

Switching is a decision to make with your prescriber, not on your own. People most often look for a substitute for one of a few reasons — and the right alternative depends on which one applies:

• Tolerability. If bothersome or serious reactions are the problem, review the side effects of Asthma Therapy first — a same-class option often shares them, so a different class may be the better move.
• Interactions. If a new prescription clashes with your current regimen, check Asthma Therapy's known drug interactions before choosing a replacement.
• Cost or availability. A generic or same-class medicine may deliver the same benefit at a lower cost tier or without a shortage.
• Effectiveness. If Asthma Therapyisn't controlling your condition, a different mechanism of action may work where this one fell short.
