Signs your asthma is not well controlled

  • Using your reliever inhaler three or more times a week
  • Waking at night with cough, wheeze or a tight chest
  • Symptoms stopping you exercising or working
  • Needing more of your usual treatment than before

What an online consultation can cover

Your doctor will ask about your symptoms, triggers, current inhalers and how you use them. They can review your treatment plan, give a repeat prescription where appropriate, and tell you if you need an in-person review or lung function test.

Asthma attack: act now

Call 112 or 999 if you are too breathless to speak, eat or sleep, your reliever is not helping, your lips or fingers look blue, or you feel drowsy or confused. Follow your asthma action plan while you wait.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get a repeat inhaler prescription online?

Where your doctor considers it appropriate after reviewing you, a prescription is sent to your pharmacy.

How often should asthma be reviewed?

Usually at least once a year, and sooner if symptoms change.
