The common goals of copd management is to control symptoms, prevent its progression and prevent future risk of exacerbations. Copd itself can not be cured. Besides optimal management of diabetes and htn, copd needs to be managed optimally. The bronchodilators in inhaled forms are primary therapy and inhaled corticosteroids can be used along (not monotherapy) with these bronchodilators for optimal relief on case by case. The patient with copd can also have concurrent cardiovascular disease specially heart failures and ischemic heart diseases due to common shared risk factors. Your physician can best assess all this conditions. The copd patient are also needed for pneumococcal and influenza vaccination and pulmonary rehabilitation programme.
