To all our valued patients,

If you have asthma, please ensure that you:

✅ Use your inhaler as prescribed, especially during this time when respiratory conditions may worsen due to environmental or seasonal factors.

🚨 If you experience any signs of worsening asthma—such as difficulty breathing, wheezing, chest tightness, or your rescue inhaler not providing relief—do not wait for an online response.

🏥 Go to the nearest emergency room immediately. Early treatment is critical and can prevent serious complications.

Your health and safety are our top priority. Please take action quickly if symptoms arise. Online consultations are helpful, but they are not a substitute for emergency care.

Stay safe and take care!
