Rethinking Asthma

Doing all you can but still dealing with asthma attacks?

You do it all to keep asthma in check—but if you’re still experiencing attacks, it may be time to rethink your current asthma treatment plan.

Keeping your asthma in check starts with finding the right type of treatment

If your treatments aren’t targeting a source of attacks, the cycle of inevitable triggers and attacks may continue—no matter how hard you work to prevent them.

 

When repeated asthma attacks are left unaddressed, it can make your asthma even worse over time.

Is it time to rethink your current asthma treatment plan?

If you answer ✓ Yes to 1 or more of the following, it may be time to talk to your doctor about your asthma treatment regimen.

✓ Have you had 2 or more asthma attacks requiring oral steroids in the last year?

✓ Is asthma disrupting your sleep more than twice a month?

✓ Have you used your rescue inhaler more than twice a week?

✓ Have you visited an emergency room or been hospitalized because of your asthma at least once in the past year?

Did you know? More than 50% of people with severe asthma were uncontrolled even while taking their regular maintenance treatments.

Could a biologic be right for you?
