Modern pharmacotherapy of bronchial asthma passed from the therapeutic approach in accordance with the severity of the disease to implementation of two general concepts: disease control in some patients and decrease of the potential risks associated with the disease in all patients. To perform the latter task, administration of the best combinations of inhalation glucocorticosteroids and long-acting beta2-agonists in single inhaler for basic therapy and for needs is the most effective. To date, Symbicort with unique delivery system (Turbuhaler) is the exclusive drug providing the optimal effect in SMART mode (Symbicort Maintenance and Reliever Therapy).
