ASK YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT SINGULAIR.
Your doctor can help you determine if your asthma may not be under control. Be sure to talk about your symptoms and feelings as openly and honestly as possible. Together, you can work toward an asthma management plan that best fits your needs.
Talk with your doctor about:
- How often you have to use your fast-acting inhaler
- How often you are having asthma symptoms
- Whether your asthma symptoms are keeping you from joining in life’s activities
- Whether it is time to use a daily controller medicine for asthma to help prevent your asthma symptoms before they start
Questions to ask your doctor:
- 1. Am I using my fast-acting inhaler too often?
- 2. Is my asthma as well controlled as it could be?
- 3. Do I need a daily controller medicine that can help prevent my asthma symptoms before they start?
- 4. Is SINGULAIR right for me?
