Medications can play an important role in asthma management. Therefore, adherence to medications is important to optimize treatment and improve quality of life.

Regarding asthma treatment, an estimated 30% to 70% of adults and up to 50% of children have poor adherence. This poor adherence can lead to uncontrolled asthma and a reduced quality of life.
