[Guideline-adherent treatment for asthma]
Abstract
Asthma is a complex syndrome with numerous clinical phenotypes. An increase in prevalence is detectable worldwide. Efforts to optimize diagnosis and care of patients with asthma have led to the development of international and national guidelines. Besides preventive and non-pharmacological measures such as patient education and physical training, the guidelines particularly recommend standardized drug therapy. In the present article we summarize the recommended pharmacotherapy for patients with bronchial asthma.
