The answer

Asthma medications are varied. The inhaler does not break the fast because it is a gas that reaches the lungs, not the stomach, and the same applies to oxygen. As for nebulization, it breaks the fast because it converts the liquid medicine into vapor and mist that reaches the interior of the body. Dry capsules break the fast because part of the powder mixes with saliva and goes down to the stomach. Whoever is compelled to use something that breaks the fast should break their fast and make up for it. And whoever has a continuous illness should break their fast and feed a poor person for each day.
