Comparison of ICS dose reduction vs. montelukast discontinuation for step-down therapy in well-controlled asthma: a pilot randomized controlled trial

Comparison of ICS dose reduction vs. montelukast discontinuation for step-down therapy in well-controlled asthma: a pilot randomized controlled trial

Abstract Background While asthma guidelines advocate for reducing inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) doses in well-controlled patients, limited evidence exists to directly support this approach. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of ICS dose reduction versus montelukast discontinuation as step-...
