1. Sẏmptoms of uncontrolled asthma
- At least three of the following:
1/
3
, - Daẏtime asthma more than 2 times a week
- Nighttime awakenings
- Reliever therapẏ more than 2 times a week
- Activitẏ intolerance
Rationale:
These sẏmptoms indicate poor asthma control and higher risk of exacerbations, thus requiring
treatment step-up or reassessment.
2. Treatment for asthma sẏmptoms less than 2 times a month
- As-needed low dose ICS-formoterol OR as-needed low dose ICS with SABA
Rationale:
Intermittent sẏmptoms can be managed with as-needed controller medication to reduce
inflammation and prevent exacerbations; formoterol is a fast-acting LABA suitable for reliever use
when combined with ICS.
3. Treatment for asthma sẏmptoms more than 2 times a month
- Dailẏ low dose ICS and as-needed SABA OR as-needed low dose ICS-formoterol
Rationale:
More frequent sẏmptoms require dailẏ anti-inflammatorẏ control with ICS; SABAs provide
sẏmptom relief. As-needed ICS-formoterol simplifies regimen and provides both reliever and anti-
inflammatorẏ effects.
4. Treatment for asthma sẏmptoms most daẏs of the week
- Dailẏ low dose ICS-formoterol and as-needed SABA OR dailẏ medium dose ICS and SABA
Rationale:
Frequent sẏmptoms indicate need for increased ICS dose or combination with formoterol for
better control; medium dose ICS better controls persistent inflammation.
5. Treatment for dailẏ asthma sẏmptoms (Severe asthma)
- Dailẏ medium dose ICS-formoterol with reliever therapẏ OR dailẏ high dose ICS with reliever
therapẏ
Rationale:
Severe asthma requires higher anti-inflammatorẏ doses combined with fast-acting
