Daily use of a TRUZONE ® Peak Flow Meter to record objective Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF) readings may help patients to recognize worsening lung function – even before they have any symptoms – and may even help track and identify activities or environmental triggers aggravating their condition. Daily Peak Flow use helps patients become active partners in monitoring their asthma and provides an accurate early warning system which may save trips to the hospital emergency room thereby reducing healthcare costs.
Measurements may also help to:
- Decide when to add or adjust medications
- Record and trend objective PEF readings
- Determine when to start the steps of the patient’s Asthma Action Plan
- Correlate their asthma symptoms with potential triggers symptoms
