Paul, a 48-year-old man with asthma, arranges to see you for a repeat prescription. He has never smoked, and has had asthma since he was 12 years old. He is currently taking inhaled Advair 250 micrograms MDI, 2 puffs twice a day and inhaled Pro-Air MDI, as needed. When you talk to him it becomes apparent that his asthma is not well controlled. He is using his Pro-Air rescue inhaler almost daily to relieve wheeze and chest tightness and wakes at night approximately monthly. Paul does not use a peak flow meter. On examination you hear widespread expiratory wheeze. You are confident that he is compliant and takes his inhaled steroids as prescribed.
