About the study
We are seeking people with stable asthma for an exciting new study to hear about how asthma treatment can be adjusted for each patient’s needs.
Asthma preventer treatment is decided for each person individually, as different people need different amounts of medication to control symptoms and prevent attacks. Finding the right dose for you means you won’t be taking more treatment than you need.
What's involved
The study involves two chats with a pharmacist experienced in asthma management about your asthma medications and what gets in the way of having your preventer scripts filled. We will ask you to complete some online questionnaires before and during the study and also ask you about your experience with the pharmacist.
