The Importance of Tailored Education And Device Handling for Asthmatic Patients
Sponsor: Chiesi Hungary Ltd.
Summary
Significant advancements have been made in asthma medication over the past decades. Highly effective treatments are available for patients; however, both adherence and proper device usage remain below the desired levels, based on our experience and literature data. Despite the availability of numerous excellent drug-device combinations, personalized treatment for patients is still not adequately addressed. In the present study, the aim is to improve patient compliance and educate symptomatic, partially, or uncontrolled asthma patients on the correct use of a specific inhalation device (Nexthaler). Considering the characteristics of the medication, the patient's lung function data, inhalation technique, and drug retention time can help estimate the expected lung deposition of the medication. By refining the inhalation technique under the guidance of the treating physician, it is hypothesized that the expected therapeutic effects of the medication may improve.
