BIOLOGIC THERAPY
Asthma is a complex disease. Many patients are able to control asthma with inhaler therapy. Some patients with severe asthma have frequent symptoms or “episodes” where their asthma gets much worse even though a patient is using more than one inhaler. Now there are options called Biologic therapy to help patients with severe asthma. Biologic therapies offer new ways of treatment because they target different molecules in the body that contribute to asthma. Our patients who are currently receiving Biologic therapy have all had positive outcomes not only with symptom control but quality of life.
