Respiratory diseases refers to pathological condition affecting lungs and other parts of the respiratory system. Asthma and COPD are the two most common respiratory diseases. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) term is collectively used to describe chronic lung diseases that cause limitations in lung airflow. Asthma is also a chronic lung disease that inflames and narrows the airways. Treatment paradigm of Asthma and COPD therapeutics comprises of anti-inflammatory drugs such as Corticosteroids, Bronchodilator Monotherapy such as Short-acting beta2-agonist (SABAs), Long-acting beta2-agonist (LABAs)), combination drugs, etc. Choice of therapeutics depends upon severity of the disease.
Asthma and COPD are leading chronic respiratory diseases with huge economic burden in both developed and developing countries. The disease represents a lucrative market due to continuous rise in prevalence of respiratory diseases, increasing environmental pollution, government initiatives, rise in number of smokers and growing geriatric population. However, the market faces several challenges due to stringent regulatory compliance, patent expiration of blockbuster drugs and associated side-effects of various therapeutics.
