Abstract

The use of tiotropium is approved for the treatment of asthma. There are several studies completed or currently ongoing with the long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMAs) umeclidinium and glycopyrronium as an add-on asthma treatment. Adding a second bronchodilator with a different mechanism of action for the treatment of uncontrolled asthma may be a suitable therapeutic approach, although several issues still under discussion. The reality of LAMA plus long-acting beta-agonists (LABA) treatment for adult asthma. A systematic search was conducted on March 2020, and included 6 electronic databases: EMBASE, MEDLINE, Scopus, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science and Google Scholar. A growing body of evidence generated from several randomized clinical trials is supporting the use of LAMA in adulthood asthma always in association with inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). Currently, only tiotropium has been approved and included in the guidelines. Other LAMAs are under evaluation in clinical trials. Several clinical trials are supporting the use of a triple therapy (ICS/LABA/LAMA) in uncontrolled asthmatic patients under ICS/LABA.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.
