In this episode, we talk about fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) and how monitoring their FeNO levels can reduce the impact asthma has on patients’ quality of life.

We’re talking about treatment for asthma in this episode, specifically inhaled corticosteroids and patient adherence, with a look at how FeNO testing can help.

In this episode, we discuss how certain types of food affect FeNO and what information clinicians can give patients to ensure reliable results.
