Asthma affects almost 4 crore Indians of all age groups and almost 80% of them are undiagnosed. Even after diagnosis majority are not on preventive anti-inflammatory medications. Allergies affect 60-80% individuals with Asthma. These allergic triggers if identified by skin testing and avoided can make asthma much more manageable.
This World Asthma Day theme of Access to Anti-inflammatory (Controller) therapies for all Asthma sufferers is very important to achieve good quality of life with normal sleep, active play, study & work. Anti-inflammatory inhalers/nebulisers are not addictive as often misconstrued by people.
Timely diagnosis, Avoidance of Triggers, Anti-Inflammatory therapies is the Mantra to Excellent Asthma Control...Lets Come Together to Make this a Reality.
