<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I had asthma as a kid and played a lot of sports. My doctor then in the 1980 s prescribed a pill that was to be taken 30 minutes prior to exercise or games. I think the medicine was named Samoflin, but I can t find any information on that drug from back then. My 12 year old daughter is just about to get into sports and also has asthma. She currently takes a daily inhaler Advair and a rescue inhaler Proair. I was going to talk to her doctor and find out if there are any drugs that are similar to that or if that drug is still available. I also had 2 inhalers back then but I always took those pills for almost 3 or 4 years.  <response>: Hello. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor.First, if your daughters asthma is well controlled with daily inhaler, she may not have bronchospasm after exercisesports. So personally I would not suggest you to take a Chat Doctor. However, you can use rescue inhaler Proair itself around 15 minutes before exercisesports to prevent bronchospasm after sports. Montelukast tablet is also available which can be used 30 minutes prior to sports for the same purpose. I would also suggest trying this approach: If her sports time is scheduled, I would suggest her to have a lighter exercise like slow running for 5-10 minutes around 30-40 minutes before. This acclimatization will help her to prevent a major bronchospasm after the scheduled sports activity. Hope this will help you. Wish your daughter the best of the health. Regards.
