Asthma is a condition in which a patient’s airways narrow and swell and may produce extra mucus. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, a whistling sound (wheezing) when a patient breathes out and shortness of breath. For some people, asthma is a minor nuisance, for others, it can be a major problem that interferes with daily activities and may lead to a life-threatening asthma attack. Asthma cannot be cured, but its symptoms can be controlled. Because asthma often changes over time, it's important that a patient works with doctors to track the signs and symptoms and adjust your treatment as needed. COPD is a chronic inflammatory lung disease, in which airways become blocked, leading to wheezing and shortness of breath.
Market Dynamics
The launch of new products is attributed to the growth of the global asthma and COPD market. For instance, in June 2021, GLENMARK PHARMACEUTICALS LTD, a research-based, global pharmaceutical company, launched Tiogiva, a tiotropium bromide dry powder inhaler (DPI) for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), in the U.K. Tiogiva’s active ingredient, tiotropium bromide, is a bronchodilator— an agent that relaxes airway muscles so they can widen. Due to its bronchodilator properties, tiotropium can ease several COPD symptoms, including shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing, and chest tightness.
