ABSTRACT
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways,
which leads to recurrent episodes of wheezing, shortness
of breath, chest tightness and/or cough; now is considered
a public health problem in many countries, in Mexico the
prevalence is estimated in 8%.
Asthma can be divided in two groups: allergic asthma,
IgE-mediated and primarily triggered by airborne allergens
and no allergic asthma whose etiological factors are infections,
irritants, etc. The main components to be identified
before starting treatment are: severity, control, response to
drugs and disability. Medications to treat asthma can be classified
as relievers, drugs used in acute situations or controllers,
medications taken daily on a long-term basis to keep asthma
under clinical control chiefly through their anti-inflammatory
effects. The therapeutic decisions must be installed dynamic,
moving from one to another stage, according to the
symptoms. In case an allergen is the trigger of the symptoms,
the recommended treatment is immunotherapy in order to
reduce the allergic response especially in cases where the
allergen can not be avoided.
