Medicine Baby Quiz | No more medication is needed after COPD stabilizes?

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common chronic respiratory disease. It is a disease caused by airway and alveolar damage due to smoking and other reasons, leading to airway airflow limitation. It is progressive and irreversible, with clinical manifestations of long-term repeated coughing, sputum and wheezing. Over time, it will progress to cor pulmonale, and may eventually affect all systems of the body, so lifelong treatment is required. COPD patients need to take medication again even in the stable period. Long-term standardized inhaled medication is the core of the treatment for stable COPD patients. Each stable patient should be individualized according to the severity of the disease and the risk of acute exacerbation. Patients can choose inhaled drugs under the guidance of doctors or pharmacists, and master the correct inhalation technique to improve symptoms, improve the quality of life, and reduce the risk of acute exacerbation of the disease.
