Recent Development:
Clinical Case Highlight:A dermatological condition with important systemic implications that must not be overlooked during Primary Care consultations.
Patient Profile:A 55-year-old woman with a history of hypertension and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). She reports no known allergies and smokes about 10 cigarettes daily. Her ongoing medications include enalapril, prescribed for the last 6 years, and inhaled formoterol for 2 years.
Due to a recent deterioration in her pulmonary status, her pulmonologist has adjusted her inhalation therapy—discontinuing formoterol and initiating a combination treatment with indacaterol and glycopyrronium via inhaled capsules.
