Continuing a partnership to help prevent
asthma symptoms
One part of effective asthma management is having the right conversation with your doctor to make sure you're getting the most from your asthma management plan. Just as in any partnership, you and your doctor each have a role in helping to effectively control your asthma.
Here's how your doctor can help:
- Make a plan to achieve your asthma management and
treatment goals. - Provide information about the medicines that he or she
has prescribed. - Give clear and simple answers to all your questions.
Here's how you can help your doctor:
- Be sure you understand your doctor's asthma management and treatment decisions and ask questions if necessary.
- Take all medicines as prescribed by your doctor.
- Keep your doctor informed about your condition.
