Possible treatment options
Treatment options may include prescription or nonprescription therapies when clinically appropriate. Your provider will determine whether a treatment is safe and appropriate after reviewing your health history and completing a clinical evaluation. Prescriptions are never guaranteed.
Options may include medication guidance or refills when clinically appropriate, focused on stable management.
When laboratory testing or in-person care may be needed
Some concerns may require laboratory testing, imaging, an in-person examination, or referral to a specialist. Your provider will advise you if your situation is not appropriate for virtual care.
Frequent rescue-inhaler use, worsening control, or a new diagnosis may require in-person evaluation or pulmonary testing.
When to seek urgent or emergency care
First Priority Clinic does not provide emergency medical services. If you experience a medical emergency — such as difficulty breathing, chest pain, severe bleeding, confusion, or signs of a stroke — call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
Severe shortness of breath, inability to speak in full sentences, or worsening fast is an emergency — call 911 immediately.
