Asthma is a common chronic pulmonary disease worldwide. Inhaled glucocorticoids are the most effective therapeutic agents in treatment of asthma and are therefore the first drug of choice in asthma treatment. Antileukotrienes are alternative controller drugs in management of asthma especially in patients who cannot use inhaled glucocorticoids effectively due to compliance problems or poor inhaler techniques.
