title: [How to prescribe treatment for an asthmatic patient].
abstract: The quality of life of an asthmatic patient is dependent of a regular use of appropriate drugs and preventive measures, both applied for a short as well as a long term course. The efficacy of the treatment will be dependent not only on the choice of the drugs, but also on the therapeutic observance or compliance, itself relying upon the patient's motivation for an improvement in his health and also to the way of teaching during the prescription of the treatment.
