Still using a blue inhaler?
It's time for an upgrade!
Blue inhalers help to open your airways so
you can breathe more easily, but Asthma is
also caused by swelling inside your lungs.
Combination inhalers can:
✔ Help you breathe easier
✔ Reduce swelling in your lungs
This means:
• Less risk of Asthma attacks
• Better daily control
• Healthier lungs
What should you do?
If you use a blue inhaler, it’s important to
have an Asthma review.
An Asthma review will:
• Check your symptoms
• Make sure you’re using your inhaler
correctly
• See if a combination inhaler is right for you
Call your GP practice today to your
review.
