Triple Therapy Simplified: What Clinicians Need to Know
Join Lung Saskatchewan's Let's Talk Lungs hosts Trent and Lori for a practical conversation with Dr. Shawn Aaron about triple therapy in asthma care and what clinicians need to know when supporting patients whose symptoms or exacerbations suggest their current treatment plan may need reassessment.

It is about confirming the diagnosis, understanding symptom patterns and exacerbation risk, checking inhaler technique and adherence, simplifying treatment where possible, and making sure patients can use and access the therapy being prescribed. This episode is designed for clinicians and health professionals who support people living with asthma, including primary care providers, respiratory educators, pharmacists, nurses, nurse practitioners, and specialist teams. The conversation will focus on practical decision-making, patient communication, and how coordinated care can help close the loop between a treatment recommendation and day-to-day use. About Our Episode Guest Dr. Shawn Aaron, MD, FRCPC, is a Professor in the Division of Respirology at the University of Ottawa and a Senior Clinician Scientist in the Inflammation and Chronic Disease Program at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute.
