Asthma is a serious, increasing public health problem in many countries throughout the world and constitutes a major economic burden [1, 2]. Undertreatment with anti-inflammatory preparations is regarded as one of the fac-tors potentially responsible for the apparent increase of asthma morbidity and mortality. A number of studies have attempted to shed light on asthma care in different coun-tries by using data from general practice registers, national medical expenditures and indirect costs, antiasthma drug sales, pharmacists or community pharmacy records [3–6].
