hello world!
May is National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month – a time dedicated to shining light on a condition that affects 1 in 13 Americans. Patients can have certain genetic predispositions contributing to the development of certain types of asthma, but it can impact patients of any age, race, or background. It is estimated that over 25 million people have asthma, with 60% of them having the most common type, allergic asthma. There is currently no cure for asthma or allergies, but both can be properly managed and allow patients to lead full lives.
At Paragon, we work with a variety of medical specialists nationwide to treat specific types of asthma, like eosinophilic and allergic asthma (IgE mediated), that require specialty injectable drug therapies. Eosinophilic asthma is caused by inflammation of the respiratory system due to an elevated number of eosinophils, a type of white blood cell that in normal amounts is beneficial and necessary to help the body fight infections. Allergic asthma (IgE) is often caused by the body’s response to environmental triggers or allergens.
Since each person is different and there are varying types of asthma and severity levels, the “triggers” will also vary from person to person. A trigger is a type of allergen or activity that can agitate a person with asthma making it difficult for them to breathe. Common triggers include:
Our patients have the option to receive certain treatments in one of our infusion centers or in the home setting. This gives our patients flexibility and a voice in their care plan. When we receive a medication and supply order, we move swiftly to ensure the patient receives everything they need in a timely manner and return to their normal routine as soon as possible.
