Controlling asthma is a two-step process: treatment and
prevention. AchooAllergy.com offers products to help
you with both. Since the majority of asthma sufferers have allergic
asthma, reducing your exposure to allergens can help reduce your
asthma symptoms and prevent asthma attacks. For more information,
please see our helpful tips to avoid allergens at home. We offer a
variety of products to
keep your home clean and free of lung irritants, so that
everyone in your family can breathe better.
 For
asthma sufferers, sometimes reducing the allergens in the
environment is just not enough. Our asthma control products have
been carefully chosen for both children and adults. A
peak flow meter can help you monitor how well your lungs are
functioning from day to day, so you know when your asthma is under
control. For immediate asthma treatment, you need a
nebulizer and
holding chamber which are easy to use and convenient to take with
you. Browse our selection of accessories designed to make asthma
treatment easier for you or your child.

Asthma Medicine
Asthma medicine goes a long way in helping people who suffer from asthma cope with their condition. There are two basic types of asthma medications - long-term medication that helps prevent asthma attacks, and quick-relief asthma medicine, which avert acute asthma attacks. There are several devices that aid in the administration of asthma medicine. Holding chambers, for instance, are used with medicine that comes in an inhaler, and helps ensure maximum delivery of medicine to the lungs, while nebulizers turn the medicine into an aerosol form that can be easily inhaled.
Valved Holding Chambers & Nebulizer Equipment
Valved holding chambers, like the
Optichamber Valved Holding Chamber, the
AeroChamber Plus, and the
PARI Vortex Spacer ensure the most effective delivery of medication to the lungs. In addition, nebulizers that deliver asthma medicine in aerosol form, are an important part of an asthma treatment regimen, and are used both with quick-relief and long-term medications.
The PARI Proneb Ultra II Nebulizer lasts up to 500 hours, with a treatment time of 7-8.5 minutes; the
PARI TREK Nebulizer features treatment time as low as 7 minutes, and is a also a good option for travel with its three power source options; the
Omron MicroAir Portable Ultrasonic Nebulizer, at only 4 inches tall, is also an excellent option for
traveling, and has a treatment time of 10 minutes. The
PARI LC Plus Neb Kit is for use with any compressor and includes valves, tubing, an adapter, and usage instructions.
Treating Asthma in Children
As can be imagined, administering asthma medication to young children can be challenging. We carry several products especially for treating little ones who suffer from asthma. The
AeroChamber MAX for children is available with small and medium masks, and features a Flow-Vu indicator so you can see that your child is receiving the medication. Children's
Ducky Masks for PARI Vortex Spacers also make asthma treatment more manageable, as does the Bubbles Mask, which minimizes aerosol loss.
Non-Medicinal Asthma Treatment Equipment
In order to monitor asthma, a peak flow meter like the
Personal Best Peak Flow Meter measures how quickly a patient can expel air from the lungs. This helps both physicians and patients manage their asthma. The
Med-Ready Puffer Tote helps asthma patients carry their asthma medication with them wherever they go, an important component of preventing life-threatening
asthma emergencies.
Another part of dealing with asthma is minimizing conditions that exacerbate it.
Cold weather often leads to increased mucus production, which can trigger an asthma attack. Cold weather
asthma relief masks help keep the air you breathe warm, and are especially important to use when exercising in cold weather or when spending a prolonged period of time outside during the winter months.
Our cold weather masks offer a full range of coverage, starting with the
BreathXchange Full Mask, which provides complete coverage for use during prolonged exposure or while playing sports. The
BreathXchange Half Mask and
BreathXchange Shield Mask provide excellent coverage for cold weather activities as well. The
Cold Weather Mask, a simple but durable polar fleece face mask, is perfect for asthma sufferers who are out in the cold, even for short lengths of time.
