Overview
Supportive therapy for occupational lung disease before fibrotic disease sets in includes glucocorticoid therapy. Anti-asthmatic drugs may also be used to provide relief from dyspnea.
Medical Therapy
Pharmacologic medical therapy such as glucocorticoid is recommended among patients without fibrotic lung disease to decelerate lung disease progression and to improve lung function.
- 1 Prefibrotic stage of lung disease
- 1.1 Glucocorticoids
Therapeutic regimen for asthma
Mild Intermittent Asthma
Step 1 Therapy:
- Preferred treatment:
- Short-acting inhaled β2-agonist PRN[3][4]
Step 2 Therapy:
- Preferred treatment:
- Low-dose inhaled corticosteroid combined with a short-acting inhaled β2-agonist PRN
- Alternative therapies include:
- Either cromolyn or nedocromil, or theophylline, or montelukast, or zafirlukast combined with a short-acting inhaled β2-agonist PRN[5]
Moderate Persistent Asthma
Step 3 Therapy:
- Preferred treatment:
- Medium-dose inhaled corticosteroid combined with a short-acting inhaled β2-agonists PRN, OR
- Low-dose inhaled corticosteroid along with either inhaled long-acting β2-agonists [6] or sustained-release theophylline for nocturnal symptoms combined with a short-acting inhaled β2-agonists PRN
- Alternative therapies include:
- Low-dose of inhaled steroid combined with long-acting bronchodilators (either inhaled long-acting β2-agonists or sustained-release theophylline) combined with a short-acting inhaled β2-agonists PRN
Severe Persistent Asthma
Step 4 Therapy:
- Preferred treatment:
- Medium-dose inhaled corticosteroid combined with inhaled long-acting β2-agonists
- Alternative therapies include:
- Medium-dose inhaled corticosteroid combined with long-acting bronchodilators (such as inhaled β2-agonists or sustained-release theophylline used alone or in combination) combined with a short-acting inhaled β2-agonists PRN
Step 5 Therapy:
- Preferred treatment:
- High-dose inhaled corticosteroid combined with inhaled long-acting β2-agonists and omalizumab in patients who have allergies
Step 6 Therapy:
- Preferred treatment:
- High-dose inhaled corticosteroid combined with oral corticosteroids, inhaled long-acting β2-agonists, and omalizumab in patients who have allergies
