From 1 August, asthma inhalers will be available for a three-month prescription instead of just one.
PHARMAC has recently announced changes that will make asthma inhalers more accessible for patients across Aotearoa.
For asthma sufferers, this is a big deal – Fewer Barriers! More Support! Greater Control!
Why Easier Access to Asthma Inhalers Matters:
· Reduces the risk of running out
· Prevents rationing of inhalers –
· Improves asthma control
· Lowers financial and time burden with fewer doctor and pharmacy visits
· Reduces time off school and work
· Supports better long-term health outcomes
· Minimises stress and anxiety
· Promotes medication adherence
· Empowers self-management
