Can I get my asthma preventer renewed online?
Yes. If you've been on the same preventer for 6 months or more and your asthma is stable, you can use our script renewal service from $17.99. If your symptoms have changed, book a $49 consultation so a GP can review your treatment.
What is an asthma action plan?
A written plan from your doctor that shows your usual medicines, how to recognise when your asthma is getting worse and what to do, including when to call 000. Everyone with asthma should have an up-to-date plan.
Can you treat children with asthma?
Yes. A parent or carer should be on the call. Young children with new breathing problems may need to be examined in person, and your GP will tell you if that's the case.
What should I do in an asthma attack?
Follow your asthma action plan or the asthma first aid steps on this page. If it's severe or not improving, call 000.
Do I need a script for a reliever puffer?
Reliever puffers are available from pharmacies, but if you're using yours more than 2 days a week, your asthma isn't well controlled. Book a review with a GP.
