Abstract
Underserved children with asthma receiving allergy subspecialty care suboptimally filled controller prescriptions, yet filled abundant rescue medications from other prescribers. Limiting albuterol prescriptions to one canister without additional refills may provide an opportunity to monitor fill rates of both rescue and controller medications and provide education to patients about appropriate use of medications to improve adherence.
