How to choose

A good service asks how often you use your rescue inhaler and whether symptoms wake you at night, because those answers determine whether your current therapy is adequate. Be wary of any service that refills a rescue inhaler without asking.

How it works

Complete an intake covering symptom frequency, rescue inhaler use and current medication, have a licensed clinician review your control, and receive prescriptions or adjustments where appropriate.

What you get

  • Refills and controller reviews without booking an in-person appointment
  • Assessment of whether current therapy is actually controlling symptoms
  • Escalation guidance when control is poor

Asthma questions, answered

Can asthma be managed online?

Stable, well-controlled asthma can often be managed remotely, including controller therapy reviews and refills. New or poorly controlled asthma usually needs in-person assessment, which may include lung function testing that cannot be done over video.

What is the difference between a controller and a rescue inhaler?

Controller inhalers, usually containing an inhaled corticosteroid, are taken regularly to reduce airway inflammation and prevent attacks. Rescue inhalers relieve symptoms quickly during an attack. Needing a rescue inhaler frequently is a sign that controller therapy needs review.

How do I know if my asthma is well controlled?

Frequent daytime symptoms, night waking, rescue inhaler use several times a week, or any limitation on normal activity all suggest control is inadequate. Those answers should prompt a treatment change rather than a straight refill.
