Asthma is a very common chronic disease that causes inflammation and swelling of your airways, resulting in difficulty breathing. As of 2020, the CDC reported that 25 million Americans suffer from asthma. Although there isn’t a cure, asthma symptoms are manageable through appropriate treatments. The issue isn’t the availability of asthma treatment. Rather it is the cost, which, considering that asthma is a leading chronic disease in children, is pummeling U.S. families. There are over 4.2 million children under the age of 18 dealing with asthma. Lack of access to affordable asthma treatments for kids leads to more emergency room visits. Boys are more likely than girls to develop asthma. But, interestingly enough, that same trend reverses in adulthood, during which women are more likely to have asthma. Studies show that it could have something to do with hormone changes: estrogen increases and testosterone decreases airway inflammation. If not properly treated, asthma can result in death. Each day, 11 people on average in the U.S. die from asthma. Many of these deaths are avoidable through affordable access to the right treatment and care.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive lung condition in which persistent damage to the airways makes it difficult to breathe. It is common, affecting more than 400 million people worldwide, and can result from smoking, long-term exposure to lung irritants, genetic factors, or other health conditions. COPD can worsen over time, but with the right treatment plan, symptoms can be managed and quality of life significantly improved. Effective therapies, including rescue and maintenance inhalers, are available. Learning about symptoms, causes, treatment options, and how to safely compare medication prices can help patients make informed health decisions.
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a condition in which a person has difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection sufficient for sexual activity. It is common and can affect people at any age. Causes may include underlying health conditions, psychological factors, medications, or lifestyle influences. ED is often treatable, and effective therapies, including prescription medications, are available. Learning about symptoms, causes, treatment options, and how to safely compare medication prices can help patients make informed health decisions.
