About Asthma
Asthma is a long-term respiratory condition that affects the airways and can cause symptoms such as wheezing, chest tightness, coughing and shortness of breath. Effective asthma management often depends on using the correct inhalers properly and reviewing symptoms regularly to maintain good control.
At Longeva Wellness, pharmacist-led consultations focus on supporting patients with asthma management, inhaler guidance and recognising when symptoms may require further medical attention.
Understanding Asthma Treatment
Asthma treatment commonly involves two types of inhalers. Reliever inhalers help open the airways quickly during symptoms, while preventer inhalers are used regularly to reduce inflammation and lower the risk of flare-ups over time.
A pharmacist can review current treatment, discuss symptom control and help patients better understand how their inhalers work.
Patients travel to our clinic from Rochdale, Manchester and across Greater Manchester for personalised asthma support delivered under clinical supervision.
Inhaler Technique and Support
Incorrect inhaler technique is one of the most common reasons asthma symptoms remain poorly controlled. Small adjustments to inhaler use can make a significant difference to symptom management and medication effectiveness.
Our team provides practical inhaler guidance and support to help patients get the full benefit from their treatment.
Asthma Reviews and Ongoing Care
Regular asthma reviews help ensure treatment remains suitable as symptoms change over time. Consultations may include discussion around symptom frequency, inhaler use, trigger factors and overall asthma control.
Where appropriate, patients may be advised to seek GP review for prescription adjustments or further respiratory assessment.
Recognising When to Seek Urgent Help
Increasing reliever inhaler use, worsening shortness of breath or symptoms not responding to treatment should always be assessed promptly. Our team can advise on when urgent or emergency medical care may be needed.
As a GPhC-registered pharmacy with pharmacist-led clinical governance, patient safety and professional care remain central to every consultation.
Our clinic offers free on-site parking, refreshments during your visit and convenient access from across Greater Manchester.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a pharmacist prescribe asthma inhalers?
Repeat prescriptions for established inhalers can often be managed through pharmacy. New prescriptions or significant changes require a GP or prescriber assessment.
How often should I have an asthma review?
An annual review is generally recommended, or more frequently if symptoms are poorly controlled.
Is my inhaler technique correct?
Many people use inhalers incorrectly without realising. A pharmacist can check and improve your technique.
What should I do during an asthma attack?
Use your reliever inhaler as directed. If symptoms do not improve, seek emergency medical help and follow your personal asthma action plan.
