[Treatment of bronchial asthma in adults. Current advances].
The last 20 years have shown an incredible improvement in the treatment of bronchial asthma, largely due to an earlier and more diffuse use of the inhaled glucocorticoids, that represent the pharmacological class of anti-asthma drugs more important to control the disease. Considering its efficacy and safety the current pharmacological treatment of asthma will probably remain unchanged for the next 10 years.
