Asthma attacks cause great distress and issues for sufferers and their families. These attacks may result in hospital admission and, in some cases, can be fatal too. Inhaled corticosteroid-containing medications prevent asthma attacks by treating the underlying inflammation that causes asthma. With this theme, GINA highlights the need to ensure that people with asthma can access inhaled medications that are essential both for controlling the underlying disease and treating attacks. May 2025 Holidays and Festivals Calendar: Complete List of Important Dates and Events in the Fifth Month of the Year.
