Asthma: Opinion or Evidence Based Medicine?

Year: 2014

Type: article

Abstract: Asthma is a worldwide health problem affecting about 315 million persons. The clinical problem is the control of airway narrowing and inflammation. This control requires daily use of medications. Corticosteroids should be used also in children and this could be a significant problem for the possible side effects. Given that more than 50% of patients with asthma is poorly controlled, here we report a brief review about the more confident therapies using inhaled corticosteroids and long acting beta2 agonists. We also report the safety profile of these therapies.
