No, ProAir isn’t a steroid medication. ProAir is a type of drug called a beta-adrenergic agonist. It works to relax the muscles in your airways to help you breathe better.
Steroids work by decreasing swelling in your airways, which makes it easier for you to breathe. Other medications that are used for asthma, such as fluticasone (Flovent HFA) and mometasone (Asmanex), are steroids.
If you have other questions about ProAir or steroids, talk with your doctor or pharmacist.
