As the early symptoms of asthma, which has been mentioned above, attack, immediately taking the drug had been prescribed by a doctor before the attack becomes much worse. Therefore, these drugs should always be taken anywhere, because we do not know when an asthma attack will come.

These are some ways to prevent asthma. However, consult a doctor still needs to be done so that prevention efforts are more successful.

Asthma therapy by intelligently controlling an attempt to reduce mortality in people with asthma. It conveyed Prof. Dr. Yusuf Faisal, Chairman of the Pulmonary Doctors Association meeting journalists in Indonesia, Thursday (4 / 6) in Jakarta.

“When asthma is not controlled, the disease can limit the activities sufferers, even severe,” said Faisal.

Faisal said, in Jakarta for more than 90 percent of asthma cases in Indonesia is not controlled at this time. Treatment for asthma patients should not only address the symptoms but also asthma control with regular exercise.

Unfortunately, public understanding of the importance of controlling for asthma still less. In addition, dependence on drugs causes respiratory salve asthma lazy to do maintenance therapy to prevent exacerbations attack could be severe.

Faisal explained, asthma can be categorized into three namely uncontrolled asthma, asthma control and asthma is partly controlled. Uncontrolled asthma attacks marked the emergence of three times or more. Patients with asthma experience symptoms in the morning and afternoon more than two times a week such as shortness of breath, chest feels heavy and coughing. The patient woke up because of asthma, restricted activity, lung function below normal, necessary salve respiratory medicine more than two times a week.

While some controlled asthma picture, very few patients experienced an asthma attack in a week. Then in asthma well controlled with almost no attacks occurred during the day. Patients can also do an event without barriers, and there are no symptoms that occur at night. With pulmonary organs functioning normally then the patient does not require a salve therapy.

Then how to treat asthma? Basically an effective asthma treatment is to avoid trigger asthma and using asthma medications to reduce airway inflammation. To find trigger, the patient should consult a doctor.

Because asthma is a chronic condition, sufferers require long-term treatment and medication therapy. Thus, asthma patients need medication to cope with an attack or as a salve that can be used everyday and treatment to control inflammation and respiratory symptoms and prevent asthma attacks since the beginning.

“However, this time more public attention directed to how to deal with the attack, although drug treatment only salve for a moment the attack. In fact, inflammation of the bronchi can trigger re-occurrence of attacks that cause asthma attacks can occur repeatedly. This could lower the quality of life of patients , “he said.

On that basis, the Global Initiative for Asthma (Global Initiative for Asthma / GINA) issued guidelines in 2008 regarding the management of asthma in total through a combination of maintenance therapy and salve in a tube of inhalers to relieve respiratory inflammation as well as overcome.

“Inhalation therapy is relatively no side effects. This is different from oral medications that have many side effects,” said Faisal. However, the combination drug price maintenance and salve in one package is still relatively expensive.

Responding to the many problems faced by people with asthma, Asthma Foundation gives Indonesia access to the patient. Retno Ramansaman, Chairman YAI said that his party has set up a pharmacy asthma. Thus, people with asthma can buy asthma medications are cheaper than those sold in the market.
