The Sanofi laboratory has developed a promising treatment against chronic bronchitis. Wednesday March 29, on the set of 19/20, Dr. Damien Mascret ensures that this drug “is very interesting”because “it was tested in patients who were already on maximum treatment”. “It could therefore be added to existing treatments, in addition to breathing exercises which are also very important”assures the health professional.
Three million patients in France
However, many are unaware of suffering from this respiratory disease. In effect, “The problem with chronic bronchitis is that you can be affected for a long time without knowing it”, says Damien Mascret. Before specifying: “There are more than three million patients in France and 4 out of 5 of them are unaware of it. They therefore continue to destroy their lungs irreversibly. Especially if they continue to smoke or be exposed to occupational toxins.”
