CHALLENGES AND RESTRICTIONS IN ASTHMA MANAGEMENT

Abstract

Asthma is a complex disease and is no more considered as a single entity. It is an umbrella of term constituting many phenotypes, each varying in its clinical presentation and response to treatment1. Each phenotype requires specific approaches for control. But for an average clinician it is not practical to differentiate between phenotypes at least in the early stages of presentation. Hence all asthma patients pass through an ordeal of guideline based management.
