This podcast was made in partnership with Allergy & Asthma Network, with funding support from AstraZeneca.

In this episode, we explore a new form of asthma treatment, Biologics. These innovative treatments offer targeted relief by addressing the underlying causes of asthma, leading to improved symptom control and a better quality of life. Dr. G and Kortney discuss the current biologics on the market for asthma treatment. 

As this is a true deep dive, we have provided some more information about the Biologics discussed to help you build a better understanding. We have included images and graphs you can use when listening to the episode.
