Understanding your asthma and treating it successfully involve a partnership between you and your doctor. And that begins by seeing your doctor regularly (at least once every six months). Even more often, if your asthma is acting up.
It's important to know that an important goal of managing your asthma is superior symptom control* most of the time. You shouldn't always have to change the way you do things as a result of your asthma. And you should be able to do more of the things you love. If you aren't, let your doctor help you treat your asthma better.
Monitor your asthma between doctor visits by keeping track of your:
- Symptoms
- Triggers
- Fast-acting (rescue) inhaler use
- Peak flow meter readings
The Asthma Control Test™ can help people with asthma, 12 years of age and older, assess their asthma control. Click here to access five simple questions that can help you determine if your asthma is as well controlled as it could be.
If your child with asthma is 4-11 years old, take the Childhood Asthma Control Test with your child.
*People ages 12 years and older taking ADVAIR 100/50 experienced improved lung function and reductions in both asthma symptoms and fast-acting inhaler use, compared with people taking either fluticasone propionate 100 mcg or salmeterol 50 mcg (inhalation powders) alone. Your results may vary.
