8 My Asthma Action Plan This written Asthma Action Plan will help you to manage your asthma. Your Asthma Action Plan should be displayed in a place where it can be seen by you and others who need to know. You may want to photocopy it. What happens in asthma? Asthma inflames the airways. During an asthma attack, the air passages (airways) of the lungs become inflamed, swollen and narrowed. Thick mucus may be produced and breathing becomes difficult. This leads to coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath. Asthma Triggers Common asthma triggers are house dust mite, pollens, animal fur, moulds, tobacco smoke, and cold air. It is unusual but some foods may trigger asthma attacks. Exercise is a common asthma trigger but can be well managed with pre-exercise medication and warm-up activities. My known asthma triggers are: Before exercise I need to warm up properly and take the following asthma medication: Useful telephone numbers Asthma Foundation for information and advice about asthma management My pharmacy:... How your preventer medicine helps Your preventer medicine reduces the redness and swelling in your airways and dries up the mucus. Preventers take time to work and need to be taken every day, even when you are well. Preventer medications are: Qvar (beclomethasone), Flixotide (fluticasone), Intal Forte CFC-Free (sodium cromoglycate), Pulmicort (budesonide), Singulair (montelukast) and Tilade CFC-Free (nedocromil). How your reliever medicine helps Your reliever medicine relaxes the muscles around the airways, making the airways wider and breathing easier. It works quickly to relieve asthma symptoms, so it is essential for asthma first aid. Reliever medications are: Airomir, Asmol, Epaq and Ventolin (all brands of salbutamol) and Bricanyl (terbutaline). How your symptom controller helps Symptom controllers can help people who still get symptoms even when they take regular preventer medicines. If you need a symptom controller, it should be taken with your preventer medication. It should not be taken instead of a preventer. Like your reliever medicine, your symptom controller helps widen the airways. But while your reliever works for around 4-6 hours, symptom controllers work for up to 12 hours at a time. However, they are not good for quick relief of symptoms so they should not be used for asthma first aid. Symptom controllers are: Foradile and Oxis (both brands of eformoterol), and Serevent (salmeterol). There are combination medications that combine a symptom controller and a preventer in one puffer. Combination medications are: Seretide (fluticasone and salmeterol) and Symbicort (budesonide and eformoterol). Your GP can advise you on the availability under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme of the drugs mentioned above. My medications are Preventer Reliever Symptom Controller Combination Medication Other Comments reprinted November 2006
