Q

First line medication for asthma tx initiation in ADULTS?

A

Low dose ICS-LABA combo PRN
*ICS-formoterol

LABA has evidence that reduces risk of exacerbatios better than SABA

You can prescribe SABA as an alternative

Q

COPD: emphysema vs chronic bronchitis diagnosis?

A

Emphysema: CXR/CT shows hyperinflation, loss of parenchyma & destruction of airspace distal to terminal bronchioles
