Long-Term Treatment Plan for Asthma
"The treatment of asthma, according to current guidelines, requires complex treatment regimens that change as clinical conditions improve or deteriorate. We have developed a practical way to communicate long-term treatment plans in chart form in the primary care setting that is easy for patients to follow and use."
American Academy of Family Physicians
"Experts say most people with asthma can live a normal, active life. What it takes is avoiding the triggers that make your asthma worse, keeping track of your symptoms, and sticking to an effective treatment regimen. Many people with asthma need short-term medicine for when they experience symptoms, and also long-term daily medicine that reduces inflammation in the airways and helps prevent asthma attacks."

Asthma Treatments and Asthma Medications
"Never before have we had so many good, safe oral and inhaled drugs for the treatment of asthma as we do today. It is important that the drug regimen be carefully tailored to the needs of the individual. This can be achieved by working with your physician to determine the optimum medical regimen designed to achieve control over your asthma."
