USE OF MONOCLONAL ARTICLES IN ASTHMA: A THERAPEUTIC OPTION
Abstract
Asthma is a pathology with great prevalence in society that has a significant impact on its daily problems. It manifests itself in different degrees, and can be classified based on the treatment necessary for its control. About 5-10% of patients do not respond to therapy with inhale corticosteroids, long-acting bronchodilators and anticholinergics, making additional measures necessary. Objective: The present study aims to emphasize that patients with severe asthma or eosinophilic asthma can benefit from treatment with immunobiologicals. Method: The article was based on selected works on the PubMed, Scielo, Google academic and journal platforms, using the descriptors “asthma”, “asthma treatment” and “monoclonal antibodies in asthma”. Considering updated and practical studies.
