Asthma Management and Reliever Therapy (SMART)

Asthma Management and Reliever Therapy (SMART) is a flexible approach to controlling asthma by using a combination inhaler containing both a controller medication (to reduce inflammation) and a reliever (to quickly relieve symptoms). Instead of separate inhalers, patients use this single inhaler for daily prevention and as needed during symptoms. This method helps reduce flare-ups and improve overall control by continuously managing inflammation and providing quick relief, simplifying treatment, and encouraging better adherence. A healthcare provider guides individualized use, ensuring effective management tailored to each person's asthma severity.
