( quo;. Of course but what about the p...)Mild Asthma, a Revolutionary Therapy from Italian Research,Health

Of course, but what about the patient? “It is still very difficult to get across the concept that mild persistent asthma is a chronic disease, particularly in the early stages, when the person only experiences symptoms from time to time – says Dr. Filippo Tesi, President of Federasma, the Italian Asthma Patients’ Association . The management of asthma is however closely related to the patient’s quality of life. If the disease is not correctly managed, symptoms and attacks occur much more frequently. Some of the reasons why patients fail to stick to therapy include the complex nature and the frequency of the treatment, the administration of a number of drugs several times a day, the fear of side effects, even in the long-term, and a lack of faith in the drugs. One approach that does however allow the disease to be managed more simply, would also appear to be an excellent solution for encouraging patients to stick to the treatment”.
