Not surprised to read that ppl with asthma want to take less medication, in fact in our estimation 31% of ppl with asthma struggle to take any medication at all + are not served well by the current guidelines-based approach. DM me to find out more about this @asthmalunguk work
Yet evidence shows that patients are rarely ‘stepped down’ on asthma medication once their symptoms are under control. buff.ly/4hZB4UV #asthma
