Overtreatment with inhaled corticosteroids and diagnostic problems in primary care patients, an exploratory study
Family Practice, 05/16/08
Lucas AEM et al. - Overtreatment with ICS in primary care seems to be considerable, which falsely labels patients as asthmatic and which generates unnecessary costs and possible side effects.

Overtreatment with ICS in primary care patients can be diminished by systematically supporting the GP in the diagnostic procedures and decision making.
