Obesity worsens asthma. Weight loss often reduces inhaler use.

Why obesity worsens asthma

Reduced lung volumes, abdominal fat restricting diaphragm movement, chronic inflammation.

What GLP-1 helps with

Weight loss improves lung mechanics and reduces inflammation. Patients often report fewer rescue-inhaler uses within 3–6 months.

Don't reduce inhalers on your own

Coordinate with your pulmonologist. Step-down should be guided, not guessed.
