Treatment is stepped up systematically, from optimising inhaler technique to advanced medication, based on your response.
Treatment intensity is adjusted based on your ongoing symptom control and lung function.

The Care Pathway
1. Assessment
Lung function tests and allergy testing identify contributing factors and current control level.
2. Treatment Optimisation
Inhaler technique is corrected and medication is stepped up as needed.
3. Advanced Therapy
Biologic therapy is considered for select patients with persistent severe symptoms.
4. Ongoing Monitoring
Regular review tracks control and adjusts the plan over time.
“Your care team supports you through every stage, from evaluation to recovery and follow-up.”
Expected Benefits and Possible Risks
Most patients achieve significantly better symptom control and fewer flare-ups. Your care team will discuss individual risks of any advanced therapy.
Every treatment has potential risks. Your care team will discuss your individual risks before treatment.
Recovery & Follow-up
Improved control is typically seen within a few weeks of an optimised treatment plan.
Your care plan includes regular follow-up, an action plan for flare-ups, and ongoing adjustment of medication.
Careful monitoring, follow-up testing and guidance all play an important role in achieving the best possible outcome.
