1. Counselling Conundrum: a real question from a patient

2. Concise Conclusion: a straight-forward patient-friendly answer 

3. Quick Wrap-up 

 

Clearly, there are nuances that may not be captured in this format. The goal here is to provide you with helpful counselling tips which often draw from multiple sources or those which are not commonly accessed by busy healthcare providers serving the community.


Counselling Conundrum: "My Physician Assistant told me to let them know if I am using my blue puffer a lot, since it could be a bad sign. How much is too much?"

 

Concise Conclusion: If you find you're needing it more than twice per week, it could be a sign that your medications need to change and you should let us or your PA know.

 

Quick Wrap-up: Also keep an eye out for reliever refills more than twice per year, and whether they are having nocturnal symptoms more than once per week. Evaluate adherence to ICS if applicable before stepping up treatment; many patients find it hard to stick to daily use of an inhaler.
