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.

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.
