Abstract

Background: Asthma is a condition known for symptoms like wheezing and breathing problems. Asthma exacerbations, which are episodes of deteriorating asthma symptoms and lung function, continue to be the most common causes of patient hospitalization. These exacerbations are frequently treated with a variety of drugs, including corticosteroids, inhaled bronchodilators such as beta-2 agonists, and anticholinergics.
