Overview
Pharmacotherapy is one of the cornerstones of the treatment for patients with chronic bronchial obstruction – CBO, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and the overlap of asthma and COPD syndrome (ACOS). The overview article discusses the role of traditional fixed-dose combination therapy, i.e. inhaled corticosteroid (IKS) plus a long-acting β2-agonist (LABA) or ultra-long-acting β2-agonist (U-LABA) and novel fixed-dose dual bronchodilators for maintenance treatment of COPD. Furthermore, the inhaled route is the first-choice administration method in the management of CBO. Inhaled medications for CBO are available in different devices with different characteristics and inhalation techniques. Therefore it is very important to continuously educate the patients on the correct inhalation technique.
