Abstract regarding budesonide/formoterol combination therapy as both maintenance and reliever medication in asthma.
- START study
new
-
START (Inhaled Steroid Treatment As Regular Therapy in early asthma) is the first worldwide, randomized, controlled, prospective study to investigate early intervention with inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) in newly diagnosed asthmatics.
- SOCS - Long-Acting 2-Agonist Monotherapy vs Continued Therapy With Inhaled Corticosteroids in Patients With Persistent Asthma
-
Patients with persistent asthma well controlled by low doses of triamcinolone cannot be switched to salmeterol monotherapy without risk of clinically significant loss of asthma control.

Abstract: Budesonide/Formoterol Maintenance Plus Reliever Therapy: A New Strategy in Pediatric Asthma.
- SLIC - Inhaled Corticosteroid Reduction and Elimination in Patients With Persistent Asthma Receiving Salmeterol
-
Total elimination of triamcinolone therapy results in a significant deterioration in asthma control and, therefore, cannot be recommended.
- Randomized Comparison of Strategies for Reducing Treament in Mild Persistent Asthma
-
Patients with asthma that is well controlled with the use of twice-daily inhaled fluticasone can be switched to once-daily fluticasone plus salmeterol without increased rates of treatment failure.
- OPTIMA Randomized Trial
-
Results suggest that any patients considered to have mild asthma would benefit from low doses of budesonide and that if asthma control is not achieved, inhaled formoterol would provide further benefit.
- Internet-based asthma education -- A novel approach to compliance
-
The present case report shows that a patient can be assisted through an exacerbation, thus averting emergency intervention and stabilizing control, even when travelling on another continent. Full-text available for purchase.
- GOAL: Gaining Optimal Asthma Control
-
Is asthma control, as defined better achieved using an escalating dose of fluticasone propionate alone or using fluticasone in combination with the long-acting beta-2 agonist salmeterol?
- Budesonide/formoterol maintenance and reliever therapy: an effective asthma treatment option?
-
This study assessed the effectiveness of budesonide/formoterol for maintenance plus relief dosing.
- A 15-Year Follow-up Study of Ventilatory Function in Adults
-
In a sample of the general population, people who identified themselves as having asthma had substantially greater declines in FEV1 over time than those who did not.
