Pharmacological therapy of asthma during pregnancy
Iram A
National University Hospital Rigshospitalet Glostrup, Denmark
A
sthma is one of the most frequent chronic diseases that
complicate pregnancy. Well-controlled asthma during
pregnancy reduces the risk for an exacerbation during
pregnancy. Pharmacological asthma therapy in pregnant
women is a challenge due to suboptimal adherence with
controller therapy, pregnant women’s and professional
health care’s concerns about harmful effects of medication
on the fetus. These aspects make it necessary to evaluate
the harmful effects of pharmacological asthma therapy
and poor asthma control during pregnancy. The aim for my
presentation is to provide an update on safety of asthma
medication during pregnancy, based on recent clinical
studies and International Guidelines.
