Frequently asked questions

What types of asthma medication can I request a new prescription for through Amazon Clinic?
You can request prescription renewal for most asthma medications through Amazon Clinic. These include quick relief medications and controller medications that can help prevent asthma exacerbations.
• Short-acting beta agonists (SABAs) like albuterol sulfate (Ventolin, Proventil) and levalbuterol (Xopenex)

• Inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs) like fluticasone propionate (Flovent), budesonide (Pulmicort), and mometasone (Asmanex)

• Long-acting beta agonists (LABAs) like salmeterol (Serevent)

• Anticholinergic agents: Short-acting muscarinic antagonists (SAMAs) like ipratropium bromide (Atrovent) and long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMAs) like tiotropium bromide (Spiriva)

• ICS-LABA combination inhalers like fluticasone propionate-salmeterol (Airduo) and budesonide furoate-formoterol (Symbicort)

• Leukotriene inhibitors like montelukast (Singulair)
Oral inhalation asthma medications can be delivered via metered dose inhaler (MDI), which uses HFA to propel medication into the lungs, or via dry powder inhaler (DPI), which is breath-actuated. Some asthma drugs can also be prescribed in vial form as nebulizer solution.

Please note: This information is for general reference only. Your clinician will review your symptoms and health history to determine which (if any) treatments are medically appropriate.
How do you define well-controlled asthma?
Asthma experts define well-controlled asthma by the following criteria:
• Your asthma symptoms require a rescue inhaler (quick-reliever medication like albuterol) no more than 2 days/week

• Your asthma doesn't wake you up more than 2 nights/month

• Your lung function (as measured by peak expiratory flow or spirometry) is normal or within 20% of your best PEF or FEV1)

• In the past 12 months, you haven't had more than one asthma exacerbation where you needed oral glucocorticoids and/or urgent medical care

• You're able to do all your normal activities
Note: If you don't meet these criteria or you've needed to take oral steroids or receive urgent medical care within the past 4 weeks, you won't be able to get a new prescription for your asthma medication through Amazon Clinic at this time.
What are the different types of asthma?
There are 4 main types of asthma:
• Intermittent
• Mild persistent
• Moderate persistent
• Severe persistent
Your type of asthma will determine what medication you're prescribed. But these 4 asthma diagnoses aren't set in stone. When managing asthma, healthcare providers frequently reassess their patients' symptoms, stepping up or down medication doses as appropriate. Although asthma is chronic, it's also dynamic, and it's not unusual for someone's type of diagnosis to change.
What's the difference between a renewal and a refill?
When you run out of your medication, you refill it through a pharmacy. When you run out of refills, a licensed clinician has to renew your prescription.

You can request a remote prescription renewal through Amazon Clinic. Your clinician will send any new prescriptions to a U.S. pharmacy of your choice. You pay for the medication when you pick it up or have it delivered.
What's the prescription renewal policy at Amazon Clinic?
Depending on the online clinic, a prescription renewal may be for a 30- or 90-day supply of medication. A prescription may also include one or more refills.

Clinicians consider many factors when determining if a prescription is medically appropriate. For example, they may want to know how long it's been since you've:
• Taken your medication
• Seen your primary care physician (PCP)
• Had appropriate lab testing
• Had your last prescription renewal through Amazon Clinic*
*Prescription renewals may be limited to one or two within a 12-month period.
