Is combination therapy already used in treating asthma?
Combination therapy has already being developedin the UK and is commonly used. This is going to be used in every country, particularly in patients who have more severe asthma which is difficult to control. This therapy simplifies treatment (for both doctors and patients). One of the problems in the long-term treatment of asthma is that you forget to use your inhalers. Can asthmatics hope for major breakthroughs once the human genome project is completed? In the long term it (the human genome project) could change how we treat asthma. But asthma is a very complicated disease and it involves many genes-a little over 100. So it’s not going to be simple to use the human genome project data on questions about treatment. But eventually we can use information from molecular genetics to predict how well some patients may respond to a particular treatment. In the future, it helps you select more specific treatments. Genetics are important for identifying the underlying allergy of asthma and tha
