to assess your asthma regularly and share your assessment with your provider.

treatment plan is working. Print out the following questions and write down your answers to the Questions for You. By gathering
specific information and writing down your answers beforehand, you and your healthcare provider can
have a better discussion about how well your treatment is going and if FLOVENT could be right for you. 1. Which medication(s) are you taking for asthma? 2. How often do you use a rescue inhaler? 3. How often do you have symptoms? 4. How often do you wake up at night? 5. How does asthma affect your activities, if at all? 6. What other conditions do you have, and are you taking any medication(s) for those conditions? 1. Do I have an asthma treatment goal that I should work toward? 2. Is my current asthma medication right for me? 3. Does my asthma medication cause any serious side effects? 4. What are the most common side effects of my asthma medication? 5. Will my asthma medication interact with the other medications that I’m taking? 6. How long will I need to take my asthma medication?
