Abstract: In India, asthma is a prevalent respiratory condition marked by frequent blowouts and a
distinctive spread pattern. Respiratory diseases are the main cause of death globally. In India, asthma
is more common, particularly in the North Indian states of Delhi and Uttar Pradesh. Our primary
objective in this review is to study asthma medication therapy and its associated complications. The
epidemiology, etiology, pathophysiology, mechanism of airway inflammation, classification, and
diagnosis of asthma are all illustrated in the current work. Additionally, we have gathered state-bystate
information on asthma for the last five years in Northern India. Asthma diagnosis and management
are also discussed in accordance with the guidelines of many agencies, including NICE,
BTS, SIGN, and WHO.
