Summary
Asthma can be caused by a variety of factors, including tobacco smoke, allergens, and
respiratory airway infections. Many people use inhaled corticosteroid medications to treat
their symptoms. These medications, however, are not effective for everyone. Clarithromycin is
an antibiotic that may effectively treat asthma in these individuals. This study will
evaluate the effectiveness of clarithromycin at controlling asthma symptoms.
