Comparative efficacy of different Step Up treatment options in asthmatic children aged 3-6

Step up therapy with fluticasone propionate (FP) in the regimen of medium doses can control the symptoms for a long time; it contributes to preserving low airway resistance during the treatment period in children 3 - 6 years old with mild to moderate persistent asthma. Combination therapy with low-dose FP and montelukast proved less effective than FP in the regimen of medium doses, but was superior to therapy with low doses of FP.
