What is a “controller”?	A controller is a maintenance medication taken daily or as prescribed to reduce airway inflammation and prevent exacerbations.
Step	Asthma Symptom Frequency	Controller and Preferred Reliever:  Drug class and frequency as per GINA guidelines)	Controller and Alternative Reliever: (Drug class and frequency as per GINA guidelines)
Step 1	Asthma symptoms less than twice per month and no risk factors for exacerbations.	Drug class: Low-dose inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)–formoterol Example Drug: Budesonide–formoterol Frequency:     One inhalation as needed for symptoms	Drug class: Short-acting beta2 agonist (SABA) with low-dose ICS taken together Example Drug: Albuterol plus budesonide Frequency: SABA as needed; ICS taken with each SABA use
