What are the advantages and limitations of long-term asthma controllers?
Corticosteroids reduce exacerbations, improve lung function, reduce airway reactivity, and reduce airway inflammation. Leukotriene antagonists reduce symptoms, improve lung function, reduce exercise-induced bronchospasm, and prevent allergen-induced inflammation. Long-acting β2-agonists reduce exacerbations, improve lung function, reduce airway hyperreactivity, and attenuate exercise-induced bronchospasm. Long-term use of corticosteroids has a significant risk of adverse effects, such as growth suppression, adrenal suppression, osteoporosis, fractures, cataracts, and glaucoma, weight gain, and hypertension. a) I and II are correct. b) II and III are correct. c) I, II, and III are correct. d) III and IV are correct.
