Common questions

A consultation can discuss triggers, symptom patterns, current inhalers, allergies and previous attacks. Homeopathic products must never replace prescribed preventer or reliever medicines.

Safer next steps

Keep prescribed inhalers available and follow the personal asthma action plan. If symptoms are new, frequent, waking you at night or limiting normal activity, arrange a medical review.

When to seek urgent care

Call emergency services immediately if breathing is getting worse, speaking or walking is difficult, the reliever inhaler is not helping, or there is no inhaler available. Sit upright and follow the person’s emergency plan while help is arranged.
