There are still a few Respigen inhalers floating around but most people will now have the replacement reliever inhaler - Salair.
This is the same strength, same ingredient, but made by a different company.

A change in temperature is a common trigger for a lot of children's asthma symptoms. If you can, it is best to have your child's bed positioned on an internal wall of the home, and away from windows.
Studies have shown the temperature drop during the night near internal walls of the home, is far less than if you had their bed on an external wall of the home, or close to a window.

If you or your child have asthma, or you have a child 4 years old or under and have been hospitalised for respiratory illness - the flu vaccine is free.
Flu vaccines are available from your doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider. Everyone over 3 years old can get a flu vaccine at many pharmacies.
