Asthma Follow Up Care: Why You Need It!

May 25, 2025 | Control Your Asthma!

* Follow-up Care is Essential to good asthma control.

* Follow-up allows determination of asthma severity.

* Other disorders that affect your breathing are detected early.

* Rescue medication refills are provided

* Your Asthma Action Plan is updated.

Having your asthma diagnosed is the first step to getting control.

But after treatments are prescribed, follow-up becomes the key to avoiding asthma attacks and controlling your asthma symptoms

Follow-up is so important because asthma is not a disease that is ‘cured’ in the usual sense.

Our goal is to manage and control it!

Asthma control means that:

  • you can be active.
  • you can sleep well.
  • you don’t have to make emergency room visits “routine”.
  • you don’t have to experience life-threatening asthma attacks!

Managing asthma means regular, Doctor visits.

We know from research studies that the best interval for these reassessments is about every three months.

At these appointments: We work on a number of points.

.. First, I evaluate your asthma severity to see if it has changed.,

.. We discuss your response to your asthma treatment plan and consider revising it if needed.

.. We will discuss new information relative to your asthma, such as new medications that may be helpful for controlling your symptoms.

.. If needed, I will order changes in the strength or the frequency of your controller or trigger medications.

.. When we have your new plan finalized, I will transmit your medication refills  to the pharmacy of your choice, electronically.

.. Then, we review your Asthma Action Plan and I
