Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

Mgt: QVAR is typically used one to two times per day, morning and in the evening. Sometimes wheezing becomes worse at night, so a dose at night is advised. A review of your asthma plan can be obtained from your PCP or by virtual consultation. www. healthtap,com/DosanjhMD Code; NCYHPZ
