The prevalence and incidence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in China are on the rise. Based on the Chinese Adult Lung Health Study, data show that the prevalence of COPD in adults aged 20 and above is 8.6%, 13.7% for those aged 40 and above, and more than 27% for those aged 60 and above . The older you are, the higher the prevalence of COPD. At the same time, the older you are, the more likely you are to have other underlying diseases. The presence of these comorbidities not only increases the complexity of treatment, but also leads to the need for multiple medications, increasing the risk of drug interactions and adverse reactions. Therefore, understanding the common comorbidities of COPD and their medication is crucial to improving patients' treatment outcomes and quality of life. What are the complications of COPD and what are the dangers? You will understand everything after reading the following content!

Therefore, when managing COPD patients, doctors and pharmacists should develop reasonable medication plans based on the individual conditions of the patients, and conduct regular evaluations and adjustments. Through scientific drug management, patients can better control COPD and its complications and improve their quality of life .
