COPD

  1. Everyone: long-acting anti-muscarinic (LAMA)
  2. If moderate or severe: combination of ICS/LABA or LAMA/LABA
  3. If also have allergic symptoms/rhinitis, start a leukotriene inhibitor. Could also start a leukotriene inhibitor for "regular" COPD after a LABA (so, before going to triple therapy)
  4. Last: triple therapy
  5. Then biologics (step 5)
  6. Cinquair- reslizumab
  7. Dupixent- dupilumab
  8. Fasenra- benralizumab
  9. Nucala- mepolizumab
  10. Tezspire- tezepelumab-ekko
  11. Xolair- omalizumab

Note: in asthma, use steroids first, in COPD steroids last.
