While cold and flu season is always unpredictable, this year is already one of the worst to date with flu outbreaks across the nation stemming from the arrival of the H1N1 virus and another wave of seasonal flu on the horizon. People with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are at higher risk of developing severe respiratory symptoms if they contract a cold or the flu, and those with asthma account for about one-third of all people hospitalized with H1N1 flu. To help asthma and COPD patients and their caregivers learn more about what they can do this winter, Teva Respiratory today announced the launch of a new educational resource called www.FluandAsthma.com.
