Asthma Management

Here at Penna's Pharmacy, we understand management is not just about filling a prescription for your inhaler - it is also about checking in with you to ensure you have all the resources, education and support you need to feel confident to take control and manage your condition.

Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition affecting 2.5 million Australians and each year we lose almost 400 people due to the condition. Each person with asthma is affected in different ways and experience changes in severity over the years.  

• Some people develop asthma as a child, others as adults.  
• Some people have symptoms often, some only for a shorter period.  
• Asthma may go into a state of remission for many years and be triggered years later.  
• Severe asthma effects around 3 to 10% of people with asthma and can be a very difficult condition to live with. 

There are many services our healthcare team can provide to assist you in managing your condition, to breathe better more often and enjoy an improved quality of life. For peace of mind in taking care of your asthma concerns, our pharmacists are here to support you.
