Asthma control: fixed vs variable
Managing the challenge of residual asthma
symptoms in adults using ICS/LABA has been
managed in two ways:1
– Increase maintenance dose of fixed-dose
combination
– Use combination as single maintenance and
reliever therapy (SMART)2
SMART suggested to offer convenience and better
improvements in outcomes with lower ICS dosing3
Does evidence support the use of this strategy?
