In this @WDTNTV Ask the Pharmacist segment with Cedarville University School of Pharmacy's Dr. Shannon Yarosz, you'll learn the difference between rescue inhalers and maintenance inhalers along with practical tips for managing asthma symptoms effectively. Proper inhaler use can make a major difference in controlling asthma, reducing flare-ups, and avoiding emergency room visits.
The segment also covers how seasonal allergies can worsen asthma symptoms by irritating the airways. During allergy season, people with asthma may notice increased breathing difficulties or flare-ups caused by environmental triggers.
Dr. Yarosz also discusses one of the most common issues pharmacists see: incorrect inhaler technique. Because different inhalers work differently, patients should understand how to properly use, clean, and store their specific device. She encourages viewers to talk with their pharmacist for personalized instruction and to review the package insert for step-by-step guidance and visuals.
