Overview
About this course
Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition that can affect women during pregnancy. Effectively managing
asthma in pregnancy is crucial to ensure the well-being of both the expectant mother and the fetus. While
pharmacologic interventions are the mainstay of treatment, non-pharmacologic measures are also emphasized as
part of the overall management of asthma during this period.
