Sponsoring Program
A written asthma action plan encourages self-management of asthma. Plans include:
• A list of the person's triggers and how to avoid them,
• Instructions for taking asthma medicine,
• Information on what to do during an asthma episode,
• Instructions on when to call a doctor, and
• Emergency telephone numbers.
Action plans should be updated at least once a year. Talk to your doctor to find the best plan that works for you.
Below are a few examples of commonly used action plans:
• English
• Spanish (Plan de acción contra el asma)
• Vietnamese (Kế hoạch hành động hen suyễn)
