PHARMACY SERVICES: Asthma Management
Managing asthma well means fewer flare-ups and better day-to-day breathing. Here’s how to stay on top of your asthma:
🌬️ Use your preventer regularly (if prescribed) to reduce inflammation
💨 Carry your reliever inhaler at all times for quick symptom relief
📋 Follow your Asthma Action Plan so you know what to do and when
🧴 Check your inhaler technique—we can help make sure you’re using it correctly
🫁 Use a spacer with your inhaler (if recommended) to help get more medication into your lungs, especially for children or those who find inhalers tricky
🔁 Keep track of symptoms and triggers (e.g. colds, allergens, exercise)
👩⚕️ When to seek help:
➡️ You’re using your reliever more often than usual
➡️ Symptoms are waking you at night or limiting daily activities
➡️ Your medication doesn’t seem to be working as well
➡️ You’re unsure how to manage your asthma
🚨 Seek urgent medical care if breathing becomes difficult, symptoms worsen quickly, or your reliever isn’t providing relief.
Our pharmacists can support you with inhaler technique checks, spacer use, medication advice, and asthma action plan guidance.
