How can I treat my asthma?

Although there's no cure for asthma, there are effective medicines for asthma that allow most people to control their asthma so that is doesn't interfere with daily life.

As asthma is a lifelong condition and attacks can happen unexpectedly, it's important that you take your asthma medicine as directed. Your doctor or asthma nurse should have explained how to use your inhalers properly, so that every dose you take gives you the most benefit.
