GINA — Global Initiative for Asthma
What GINA means
GINA is the international organization that publishes the most widely used asthma management guidelines. Its reports define the stepwise therapy framework, preferred reliever and controller medications, and criteria for assessing symptom control that clinicians and exam question writers reference worldwide.
GINA in clinical practice
Exam questions frequently anchor asthma pharmacotherapy sequences to current GINA guidance — for example, starting therapy with inhaled corticosteroid–formoterol combinations rather than short-acting bronchodilators alone. The ClinIQ asthma article summarizes the GINA stepwise approach with high-yield testable points.
