This study compares two commonly used inhalation devices in asthma management. It focuses on evaluating how effectively PMDIs and DPIs deliver the same combination of inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting beta agonists in patients whose asthma remains poorly controlled despite treatment. The study is conducted in a tertiary care hospital setting, emphasizing real-world clinical practice and aiming to determine whether device choice influences asthma control outcomes.
