abstract: Multiple medications are available to treat asthma and other allergic diseases, making it difficult to determine which medications to use. The decision should be based on efficacy, cost, and other advantages and disadvantages. Comparative tables can help for rapid selection and can be used as a tool for enhancing prescribing practices. This article organizes this information into a tabular format, allowing for rapid review.
