Date: 23 September | Speakers: Dr. Juan Ruiz & Dr. Andrew Thamboo
Aspirin Exacerbated Respiratory Disease (AERD) is a chronic condition marked by asthma, nasal polyps, and sensitivity to aspirin or other NSAIDs. Often misunderstood, AERD can greatly impact breathing and quality of life. It’s estimated that 1 in 10 people with asthma live with this condition.
In this webinar, Asthma Canada is joined by Dr. Juan Ruiz and Dr. Andrew Thamboo to:
- Learn how the condition is diagnosed and managed.
- Hear about surgical approaches that can improve symptoms.
- Get the latest on treatment advances, including the use of biologics.

Asthma Action Plan
An Asthma Action Plan allows you and your healthcare provider to create a personalized program for managing your asthma. You can use it as a strategy to identify when your asthma may be flaring up and how to manage your asthma when it gets out of control.
Asthma Phenotypes
In recent years, researchers have discovered that asthma is more than just one disease, and treatment is not one size fits all.
