Rescue inhalers can help prevent symptoms before they start.

Line
Fact

Rescue inhalers are important for treating symptoms, but it is also important to try to prevent symptoms.

Why wait until you already have symptoms to seek treatment when you can help prevent them from happening in the first place? It all starts with you and your doctor discussing treatment goals and making a plan that works for you.

Set your goals and make a plan.

Between triggers, medicines, and dealing with symptoms, managing asthma can seem a little confusing. However, you and your doctor can simplify things by discussing specific asthma treatment goals and having your doctor create a plan that you can follow every day.

Once your goals for asthma treatment have been set, you can work with your doctor to fill out an Asthma Action Plan that will help you manage asthma symptoms more effectively.
