Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main types of asthma treatment available?

Asthma treatment typically includes quick-relief inhalers (bronchodilators), long-term control medications like inhaled corticosteroids, combination inhalers, leukotriene modifiers, and biologic therapies for severe asthma. We personalize your treatment plan based on your asthma severity and triggers.

Can asthma be cured permanently?

While asthma cannot be cured, it can be effectively managed with the right treatment. At our clinic, we focus on long-term control and prevention to help you live a normal, active life without frequent flare-ups.
