The efficacy of tiotropium as a steroid-sparing agent in severe asthma
Canadian Respiratory Journal, 07/01/09
Kapoor AS et al. - A severe asthma clinic patient, who was monitored through the University of Alberta's Virtual Asthma Clinic (Edmonton, Alberta) is presented. Despite optimization of his disease and individualized asthma education (provided by a certified asthma educator), the patient remained on oral glucocorticosteroids (OGS) to control his disease. Following optimization and stabilization, a further reduction in the dose of his OGS by the addition of the long-acting anticholinergic agent tiotropium bromide, was demonstrated.
