Abstract	Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are commonly prescribed for managing chronic respiratory conditions. However, their usage patterns and associated adverse drug reactions (ADRs) within community settings are not well-documented [1]. This study conducts a Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) analysis regarding ICS usage. Data were collected through interviewer-administered questionnaires. A KAP analysis was conducted to understand patients' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding ICS use. The study revealed that the majority of the patients had inadequate knowledge, poor practice, and poor attitude regarding inhaled corticosteroids.
