Asthma is a multifacorial disease caused by a complex interaction of various factors, thus making treatment options for the management of this disease more complex, requiring an individual approach comprising the following:

• 
  EDUCATION OF PATIENTS
• ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL
• PHARMACOTHERAPY
• IMMUNOTHERAPY (HYPOSENSIBILIZATION)
• PHYSICAL THERAPY
• CLIMATE THERAPY
• WORK THERAPY 
• CONSULTATIONS WITH PSYCHOLOGIST

 

All forms of therapy are equally important. Systematic education contributes to a:

• 
   reduction in number and severity of asthma attacks;
• reduction in hospitalization days;
• reduction in absence days from school or office;
• reduction in consumption of drugs through prescribed instructions for use;
• reduction in morbidity and mortality;
• reduction in the number of complications or respiratory compromised patients.
