Country

Netherlands

A triple combination therapy for asthma Enerzair Breezhaler, which includes a digital sensor to help patients monitor their treatments, has received a positive opinion from the European Medicines Agency. Assuming formal approval by the European Commission, the drug will be available as a maintenance treatment for asthma in adult patients whose disease is not adequately controlled by a corticosteroid and a long-acting beta2 agonist.
