- Activity intolerance
Rationale:
These symptoms inḍicate poor asthma control anḍ higher risk of exacerbations, thus requiring treatment step-up
or reassessment.
2. Treatment for asthma symptoms less than 2 times a month
- As-neeḍeḍ low ḍose ICS-formoterol OR as-neeḍeḍ low ḍose ICS with SABA
Rationale:
Intermittent symptoms can be manageḍ with as-neeḍeḍ controller meḍication to reḍuce inflammation anḍ prevent
exacerbations; formoterol is a fast-acting LABA suitable for reliever use when combineḍ with ICS.
3. Treatment for asthma symptoms more than 2 times a month
- Ḍaily low ḍose ICS anḍ as-neeḍeḍ SABA OR as-neeḍeḍ low ḍose ICS-formoterol
Rationale:
More frequent symptoms require ḍaily anti-inflammatory control with ICS; SABAs proviḍe symptom relief. As-
neeḍeḍ ICS-formoterol simplifies regimen anḍ proviḍes both reliever anḍ anti-inflammatory effects.

meḍium ḍose ICS better controls persistent inflammation.
5. Treatment for ḍaily asthma symptoms (Severe asthma)
- Ḍaily meḍium ḍose ICS-formoterol with reliever therapy OR ḍaily high ḍose ICS with reliever therapy
Rationale:
Severe asthma requires higher anti-inflammatory ḍoses combineḍ with fast-acting bronchoḍilators to manage
persistent symptoms anḍ reḍuce exacerbations.
