What should I expect from my asthma treatment?

 With regular, long-term treatment, you can achieve the following goals:

• A complete absence of asthma symptoms, or only minor symptoms during the day.
• Peaceful sleep at night, without any symptoms.
• No need to miss work, studies or other activities due to asthma.
• No emergency visits or stays in the hospital.
• Being able to participate fully in physical activities.
• Extremely few, if any, side effects from your asthma medicines.
