Shortness of breath
Wheezing or whistling sounds when breathing
Chest tightness or pressure
Persistent cough, especially at night or early morning
Symptoms triggered by exercise, allergens, or cold air

Your clinician will assess how often symptoms occur, how severe they are, and how they impact your daily activities and sleep.

Online Asthma Treatment and Medications With Galileo

Asthma care typically includes both daily control medications and quick-relief treatments. Your clinician will create a plan based on your symptoms and level of control.

Inhaled Corticosteroids (ICS) – Controller Medications

These medications reduce airway inflammation and help prevent symptoms over time. They are commonly used for long-term asthma control.

Inhaled Bronchodilators – Rescue and Long-Acting

• Short-acting bronchodilators (rescue inhalers) provide quick relief during symptoms
‍

• Long-acting bronchodilators help maintain control when used with controller medications

Oral Corticosteroids

Short courses may be prescribed for flare-ups to reduce inflammation when symptoms worsen.

Leukotriene Modifiers and Add-On Therapies

These medications may be used alongside inhalers to improve control in certain patients.

Your clinician will recommend the safest and most appropriate combination based on your condition.

Get an Inhaler Refill Without Seeing a Doctor in Person

If you’re already using asthma medication, you may not need an in-person visit to get a refill. Galileo makes it easy to request inhaler refills through the app.

During your visit, your clinician will:

Review your current medications
Assess how well your symptoms are controlled
Confirm that your treatment plan is still appropriate

If appropriate, your inhaler prescription can be sent to your preferred pharmacy the same day. This helps you stay consistent with treatment and avoid gaps in medication.

Galileo offers transparent pricing and flexible access. Many employers and insurance plans include Galileo as a covered benefit. If you do not have coverage, you can still use the app and pay directly with affordable rates shown before your visit.

Your clinician can manage most needs virtually, but if in-person testing or referrals are required, residents of New Mexico, Georgia, North Carolina, New York, Maine, and Alabama can take advantage of in-person care, which Galileo coordinates seamlessly.
