Are you "missing the boat" in modern asthma therapy?

I hope this brief update helps you feel more confident that you are current in your asthma management practices. I feel that you definitely will be if you follow the Pocket Guide for Asthma Management, if you are using inhaled steroids in the majority of your patients, and if you are considering the use of long-lasting B2-agonists and more potent inhaled steroids in at least some of your asthma patients who reach steps three and four of therapy. Continue to be vigilant for further progress in asthma management. Best wishes for 1997 in your professional lives and specifically in managing your asthma patients.
