One of the approaches to the formation of adherence to long-term treatment of patients with bronchial asthma, the basis of which is the introduction of a learning factor into their therapeutic complex, is considered. The cognitive strategy of individual and group education of patients in the Asthma School environment helps to awaken the patient’s activity at the level of competence in the management of the illness, and cooperation with the attending physician. The patient consistently acquires the necessary knowledge, useful skills and confidence in the importance of personal participation in the treatment of this disease, moving from compliance to informed adherence to treatment. The significant advantages of long-term treatment of bronchial asthma, in which trained patients are involved, are shown.

A therapeutic trial using ketotifen, a prophylactic agent for the long-term treatment of bronchial asthma, was undertaken. Twenty-nine patients with a mean age of 33 years and suffering from bronchial asthma for six months to 20 years (mean 8.6 years) were treated for three months. Ketotifen demonstrated good results in alleviating the impact of the disease on the asthmatic patient. The lowering of the frequency of asthmatic attacks, their duration and the degree of dyspnoea was accompanied by a normalization of lung function parameters. An analysis of further respiratory investigations showed that the best results are to be obtained in the uncomplicated asthmatic. The need for the prophylactic treatment of asthma with an agent such as ketotifen is stressed, as only in this way can irreversible changes be prevented.
