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 air purifiers and other 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 Max, 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. Thes nebulizers 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 Portable Nebulizer,
at only 4 inches tall, is an excellent option for
traveling, and has a treatment time of 10 minutes. The
PARI LC Plus Nebulizer 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. It 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 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.
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. When you are outside in cold weather, asthma relief masks help keep the
air you breathe warm. A mask is essential equipment to use when exercising in cold weather or when spending a prolonged period of time
outside during the winter months. The Cold Weather Mask,
a simple but durable polar fleece face mask manufactured by I Can Breathe, Inc., is perfect for asthma sufferers who are out in the
cold even for short lengths of time.
