Abstract
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways characterized by variable symptoms and reversible airflow obstruction. It affects over 300 million people worldwide. While there are effective medications to control asthma symptoms and prevent exacerbations, poor adherence to controller medications is common and contributes to adverse health outcomes. Pharmacists can improve adherence through patient counseling on medication use, inhaler technique, and by addressing individual barriers. This improves symptom control, quality of life, and reduces healthcare utilization. Pharmacists play an important role in underserved communities by promoting adherence through convenient access and continuity of care. Overall, pharmacist counseling improves outcomes for patients with asthma as part of patient-centered care
