​Asthma is a chronic lung disease which cannot be cured, but it can be controlled. It affects more than 2 million Australians, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are almost twice as likely to be affected. Asthma is an inflammation of the airways which causes breathing difficulties. Asthma can be managed with medication, relievers and preventers (puffers), exercise and other therapies. Avoiding your asthma triggers and correct use of your asthma medications will help you manage your  asthma.
FACT: Only 10% of asthma patients use their inhalers correctly.
Therefore:
  • Know your triggers!
  • Know your score!
  • Know your goal!
  • Know your asthma action plan!
  • Know the signs of an asthma flare up or attack!
  • Know your asthma first aid!
Friendly tips!
  • Always carry your reliever with you
  • Use a spacer
Our friendly pharmacists can help you manage your asthma. Pop in store and speak to our friendly pharmacists for assistance with correct inhaler technique, prescribed medicines and any questions you may have.
