Comparative Study of Inhaled Corticosteroids and Leukotriene Receptor Antagonists As Controller Options for Mildly to Moderately Persistent, Stable Asthma
This study reveals that both ICS and LTRA significantly improve asthma control, lung function, and quality of life in patients with mild to moderate persistent asthma, with ICS showing superior efficacy. ICS led to greater improvements in ACT scores and lung function parameters, supporting its use as a more effective treatment option in this patient population.
