Asthma: The Daily PANCE Blueprint

According to current GINA asthma guidelines, what is the preferred reliever therapy for patients with mild asthma?

A. Low-dose ICS-formoterol
B. SABA (Albuterol) alone
C. Oral corticosteroids
D. Tiotropium
E. Daily leukotriene inhibitor

Answer and topic summary

The answer is A. Low-dose ICS-formoterol

Current GINA guidelines recommend low-dose inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)-formoterol as the preferred reliever therapy for mild asthma because it reduces severe exacerbations better than short-acting beta agonist (SABA) therapy alone. Albuterol alone is no longer preferred due to increased exacerbation risk.
