Abstract

An increased understanding of the pathobiology of asthma has led to improved treatment for chronic asthma. This article discusses the old and new strategies of asthma therapy based on a pathobiologic approach. Therapeutic agents discussed include beta-adrenergic agonists, methylxanthines, corticosteroids, cromolyn, nedocromil, leukotriene modifiers, and new investigational agents.
