Worried about your asthma?
CONCERNED ABOUT THE INHALER SHORTAGE?
We offer treatment for both acute asthma attacks and long term asthma management. All medications are FDA-approved for asthma treatment. Insurance is accepted for these medications. Our streamlined process allows you to receive your inhaler prescription online after a comprehensive evaluation by our licensed providers. This ensures prompt access to your medication, tailored to your specific needs.
Some asthma medications are in limited supply. If your preferred medication is out of stock, your Alpha Provider can help find the appropriate substitution or send the prescription to your local pharmacy.
For long term treatment of asthma, we typically prescribe corticosteroid inhalers, which reduce inflammation of the airways, as well as combination inhalers that include both a corticosteroid and a bronchodilator. Through our online platform, you can consult with an Alpha provider to determine the most effective preventive inhaler for your asthma management and receive your prescription without the need for an in-person visit.
Short acting agents are used to quickly relax or open airways and relieve symptoms of asthma exacerbations. If you experience acute asthma symptoms, our providers can assess your condition online and prescribe the appropriate rescue inhaler to provide quick relief. They are often called rescue or quick-relief medications and work within 15 to 20 minutes, lasting up to six hours or longer. You can also use them before exercising to prevent exercise-induced asthma symptoms. For acute treatments, we offer several types of Albuterol and Levalbuterol inhalers.
Your Alpha Provider can prescribe the medication you need before your next attack.
