Local News

  •  ATHSMA INHALERS
Were you aware inhalers have a carbon footprint? Some types a lot higher than others. This is due to some containing a propellant gas that helps carry the medicine into the lungs. For more information and to help you decide if you are suitable to make a swap to a more eco friendly inhaler please read https://shorturl.at/ksuEX and discuss it with the nurse at your next review.
PLEASE REMEMBER!!!
The most important thing is to keep your asthma under the best control possible, using inhalers that suit you well.
DO NOT stop using the inhalers you already have without talking to your healthcare professional. It is important to make a choice that is right for you. Talk to your healthcare professional before making any changes to your treatment. A good time to do this might be at your next routine asthma appointment.
If you stop your treatment, your asthma might get out of control, which can be dangerous for your health. It will also have a higher carbon footprint because you will need to use your reliever (rescue) inhaler more and may need more visits to your GP or hospital
