This is an observational study—meaning researchers will watch and learn from your real-life asthma care rather than test a brand new medication. The study aims to understand how often people with mild to moderate asthma need to switch to stronger treatment, and what signs tell doctors it's time to make that change. By tracking your symptoms, rescue inhaler use, and breathing measurements over time, researchers hope to create better guidelines for when treatment should be stepped up.
Right now, doctors don't have clear, consistent rules about when a patient's asthma has gotten bad enough to move to stronger medication. This study exists to fill that gap by learning from real patients like you, so that future asthma care can be more predictable and personalized.

You will continue taking your regular asthma medications exactly as prescribed—nothing changes in your treatment. You'll come to the clinic regularly for check-ups and breathing tests (spirometry). Between visits, you'll keep a simple daily record of your asthma symptoms, how often you use your rescue inhaler, and your morning and evening peak flow measurements using an electronic diary. The study team will use all this information to spot patterns in when and why asthma gets worse and needs stronger medication.
