Treatment Options for Steroid-Resistant Asthma

Treatment options for steroid-resistant asthma focus on managing symptoms and improving lung function when standard treatments, like inhaled corticosteroids, aren't effective. These may include biologic therapies, which target specific pathways in the immune system, and are often given by injection or infusion. Other options include long-acting bronchodilators to help open airways, oral corticosteroids for short-term flare-ups, and newer medications like leukotriene modifiers. In some cases, lifestyle changes, avoiding triggers, and personalized asthma action plans are also important. Working closely with a healthcare provider ensures the best approach tailored to individual needs.
