❄️ Breathe easier this winter!

Winter can be tough on your lungs, especially if you have COPD.

Make sure you use your inhalers the right way – every day, to help keep your airways open, control symptoms and prevent flare-ups!

• Use them every day, even when you feel well
• Keep a spare inhaler and don’t run out of medicine

If you’re not sure how to use your inhaler, ask your pharmacist to show you how.

Or select your inhaler from the list and find step-by-step guidance at👉https://ow.ly/4CZ650Xmo8P
