International Guidelines for the Management of Asthma
International guidelines for asthma management recommend a personalized approach that includes regular check-ups, avoiding triggers, and using medications properly. Key treatments involve inhaled corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and quick-relief inhalers for symptom relief. Patients are encouraged to monitor their symptoms and peak flow to detect worsening before it becomes severe. An asthma action plan, developed with a healthcare provider, guides when to adjust medications and seek care. The goal is to control symptoms, prevent attacks, improve quality of life, and minimize medication side effects through tailored, evidence-based strategies.
