Did you know that at least 75% of patients with asthma may ALSO have allergic rhinitis (AR)? Well, fun fact: Allergies and asthma CAN often occur together. Patients with asthma can have both allergic or non-allergic rhinitis. Therefore, symptoms of AR can be mistaken for asthma and vice versa.

Allergic rhinitis is an independent risk factor for developing asthma. The presence of allergic rhinitis is linked with poor asthma control. Both AR and Asthma can have the same triggers, whether allergic (dust mites, animal dander, pollen, cockroaches) or non-specific (cold air, strong smells, environmental to***co smoke).

It is important to use the correct treatment for both conditions. If you present similar symptoms and are unsure if you should be treating asthma or allergic rhinitis, consult your doctor or visit your local pharmacy for further help.

What is Allergic Rhinitis?

Allergic Rhinitis (AR), more commonly known as ‘hay fever’, is the swelling and inflammation in the inner lining of the nose caused by allergens when they come in contact with your nose. These allergens can include; pollen, dust mites, moulds or animal dander.

Over time, people who suffer from AR could experience
However, AR can be managed with over-the-counter (OTC) medications such as intranasal corticosteroids, antihistamines and decongestant sprays or tablets. For some people non-medicated approaches such as saline nasal sprays will provide enough relief from hay fever.

Head down to your local pharmacy to chat about hay fever if you have any questions whatsoever! Happy Monday!

Did you know that 1 in 9 people in Australia have asthma?

Asthma- a long-term lung condition that is controllable but cannot currently be cured. People with asthma have sensitive airways and the lining of the airways are inflamed and thicker. When an asthma attack happens, the muscles around the airway squeeze tight, becomes narrower as it swells and more mucus is produced. This makes it hard to breathe.

Asthma affects people of ages with causes that are not entirely understood. There are evidences to show that it could be due to family history of asthma, eczema and hayfever. Others show that it could be exposure to environmental factors such as workplace chemicals or to***co smoke.

Knowing your symptoms is important to know an early onset of an asthma flare up to help relieve it sooner. The symptoms can range from breathlessness, wheezing, chest tightness, persistent cough and with the symptoms happening at specific time of the day- usually at night, early in the morning, or during/after activities.

The good news is, for most people, asthma can be well-controlled with a daily management plan and following through with it. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms as of late (in the last 4 weeks) , please head to your GPs or nurse practitioners for a consult.

Pharmacy 777 also offers Health checks, regardless if you are a HBF member. You can also talk to our friendly pharmacists about your asthma control or have a quick refresher on your inhaler techniques.

Remember, asthma should not stop you from living your life freely.
