New York, U.S., February 6 -- Asthma patients relying on herbal medication could face serious consequences, reveals a novel research.
Researchers at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine (MSSM) found that patients believing in herbal cures have a tendency to skip their asthma medication, therefore deteriorating their health.
“These patients report worse asthma control and poorer quality of life than patients who follow medication plans,” said Angkana Roy, M.D., pediatrician, MSSM.
Roy added, “Underuse of prescribed medication is one of the main factors contributing to poor outcomes in asthma patients.”
326 patients studied
