FAQs
Can asthma be controlled?
Yes. With the right diagnosis, inhaler plan and trigger control, most patients can live active lives with very few symptoms.
Are inhalers habit-forming?
No. Inhalers are targeted medicines for the lungs and are often safer than repeated oral medicines when used correctly.
Do I need PFT for asthma?
PFT helps confirm airflow limitation and monitor response, so it is commonly recommended when asthma is suspected.
