Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the impact of pharmacist led educational interventions on Asthmatic patients, and also determine their medication adherence.

Pharmacist's intervention aims to answer:

1. How a pharmacist intervention program impact medication adherence in persistent asthma?
2. To assess how pharmacist led educational intervention like patients' counseling and medication reminders through Telemedicine have an impact on patient's asthma control?
3. Which mode of communication (Verbal instructions, videos and pamphlets) for the patient counselling is most beneficial for the patients in asthma control.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a randomized, pharmacist-led, two-group, longitudinal descriptive interventional study performed through in person (Public and private hospitals) and telecommunication (WhatsApp, network calls and messaging). The investigator will use snowball method to approach patients through telecommunication. Recruited patients will be randomly divided into two groups: the Control and the experimental group. The Control Group will not receive any intervention, and experimental group will receive special counseling about persistent asthma, it's medications and medical devices, their appropriate use, and side effects. Using Telemedicine as message and call reminders to increase medication adherence and improve their asthmatic condition. The intervention will be conducted for one month on the experimental group according to the recruitment date and time of the patients.

Pre-validated questionnaires will be used for the assessment

1. The adherence to asthma medication questionnaire (AAMQ-13).
2. Asthma Control test TM (ACT).
