We spend a lot of time on this blog advocating for best practices and proper preventative measures for allergy and asthma symptoms. Recently on this blog, we started to talk about the findings that researchers and scientists have discovered through studies that were presented at the European Respiratory Society International Congress.
When it comes to living a healthy lifestyle, it is best to be prepared with all the information. Here are a couple more studies that you should know about if you suffer from asthma symptoms:
Mepolizumab – The drug, which is an investigational interleukin-5 antagonist monoclonal antibody, is in research phases at GlaxoSmithKline. At the University of Amsterdam, researchers "compared 100 mg mepolizumab with placebo administered subcutaneously every 4 weeks for 20 weeks in 135 patients (mean age, 50 years) with severe eosinophilic asthma. Reduction in glucocorticoid dose was the primary outcome; asthma exacerbation rate, asthma control and safety also were measured."
Nasal Corticosteroids – In a recent study conducted at the Washington University School of Medicine, it was determined that the administration of nasal corticosteroids to patients suffering from chronic sinonasal disease was ineffective at relieving symptoms. The study was a 24-week-long trial which used placebo and nasal mometasone in almost 400 patients of varying ages.
Creating an atmosphere and a lifestyle that is conducive to keeping you healthy and alert even through asthma or allergy symptoms is key to making sure that you are able to have high quality of life. When it comes to creating that space, it is best to invest in materials and products that will help you reduce your asthma triggers. Purchasing items like hypoallergenic bedding will help you lessen the impact of environmental triggers in your own home. For more information on how Allergy Be Gone can help, contact us today.
