What is your preferred rescue inhaler for patients with asthma?
Do you favor albuterol PRN, albuterol/budesonide PRN, or SMART therapy with ICS/formoterol?
Answer from: at Community Practice
The problem with using ICS/formoterol is that the patient will run out of doses before the end of the month if they take it on a BID basis.

SMART with ICS/formoterol. I tend to think all asthma patients should be on SMART therapy (ICS/formoterol). Just don't really see the reason to not treat that way.
