Eosinophilic Asthma Treatments: A Comprehensive Guide
The primary treatments for eosinophilic asthma are:
* Inhaled corticosteroids: These are the cornerstone of treatment for eosinophilic asthma. They help reduce airway inflammation and improve asthma control.
* Leukotriene modifiers: These medications block the action of leukotrienes, which are inflammatory chemicals released by the body during an asthma attack.
* Systemic corticosteroids: These medications are used for people with severe eosinophilic asthma that is not controlled with inhaled corticosteroids or leukotriene modifiers.
* Biologics: These are medications that target specific parts of the immune system that are involved in eosinophilic asthma. They are used for people who do not respond well to other treatments.
In addition to these medications, people with eosinophilic asthma may also need to:
* Avoid triggers that can cause asthma attacks, such as dust mites, pet dander, pollen, and smoke
* Get regular exercise
* Eat a healthy diet
* Get enough sleep
* Manage stress
