The majority of patients with asthma can be relatively easily treatead thanks to availibility of highly effective medications. In the reality,

however, more than 50 % of asthmatic patients remains with poorly controlled disease, 1/3 of them have severe troubles. The most

common cause of asthma mediactions not working is that the patiens are not adherent to prescribed therapy. Our challenges are to be

sure that patients understand the principles of asthma management and use their inhalational drugs correctly. This article reviews and

discusses the current available therapy and summarizes for clinical settings.
