If a concurrent diagnosis of asthma is suspected, pharmacotherapy should primarily follow asthma guidelines, but pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches may also be needed for their COPD. What does this mean for the treating physician? In this review, we explore the implications of this new guidance on treating patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, arguing for a personalized approach to treatment.enghttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/COPDAsthmaAsthma-COPD overlapInhaled corticosteroidBronchodilatorAsthmaPulmonary Disease, Chronic ObstructiveHumansresearch articleAttribution 4.0 International34163155161709-171510.2147/COPD.S300902International Journal of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseaseopen accessEnfermedad Pulmonar Obstructiva CrónicaHumanosAsma2-s2.0-85108723989662308400001L2007625886
