Triple inhaler therapy in adolescents and adults with moderate or severe persistent asthma.
Review
Overview
abstract
Expert guidelines, meta-analyses, and multiple randomized controlled trials have demonstrated the effectiveness of long-acting inhaled antimuscarinic agents (LAMAs) as an additive medication for patients with poorly controlled moderate or severe persistent asthma. LAMAs play an essential role in blocking acetylcholine binding to muscarinic receptors and reducing bronchoconstriction and mucus production. By adding this medication to other combination inhalers, patients can use a triple inhaler to improve FEV1 values and reduce exacerbations.
