First rule in the treatment of exercise-induced bronchospasm is to have enough knowledge about the etiological factors and to take protective measures against these factors. Protective and controlling agents are used in medical treatment and if present, effective control of underlying asthma is quite important.

This situation makes it necessary to follow the up to date lists and direct the management of the disease accordingly, as well as knowing and taking the the effective non-drug measures.
