Your doctor should know all the drugs you are taking. If you have more than one doctor, remember to tell each doctor what your problems are and what drugs you are taking. If you have a problem, ask the doctor whether one drug might be interacting with another to cause your problem. Carry the list with you. Many older people still smoke.
Smoking makes asthma and other lung problems worse.
Tell your doctor if you smoke or if someone in your household smokes. You may be at high risk for lung problems. Other people in your home may also be at high risk for lung problems. Good treatment is a partnership between you and your doctor. You need an asthma treatment plan.
