Asthma airways
Q I have asthma and am on medication to help regulate my blood pressure and cholesterol. I am allergic to penicillin and various other medications, but MedicAlert tags only allow for a few conditions to be noted on them. Can you tell me which is the best way to provide a greater amount of information for emergency medical staff?

A MedicAlert s extensive range of jewellery can indeed be engraved with medical information, but the larger tags and bracelets can only carry about 10 words, so space is tight, even accounting for the use of medical abbreviations. In your case, it s vital that any tag you have lists your asthma, diabetes and penicillin allergy. It should also include other crucial data, such as any medication and your GP s surgery number.
If you run out of space, you can brief the MedicAlert service so that medics can access all the information via a 24-hour emergency phone number shown on the tag
Betty Parker will be the guest speaker. (760) 471-3201.
