Management of COPD varies based on the severity of symptoms and any recent exacerbations. If the patient smokes, stopping is a must. Different types of inhalers can be prescribed based on the patient's needs. Oxygen may also be necessary if the disease becomes too severe. Discussing options for treatment with your Family Physician is always the best place to start.
