For all of our asthma patients….
Asthma is a common condition in the UK, affecting one in eleven children and one in twelve adults (data from Asthma UK) and can often last for a life-time.
If you have an Asthma diagnosis, it is important that you have an annual Review appointment with one of our Respiratory Nurses, who can review your symptoms and ensure you are on the right medication, which can help keep symptoms under control and enable you to lead a normal life.
If you or your children have been prescribed one or two inhalers, make sure you know the difference between them so they are being used to manage symptoms appropriately.
Blue Inhalers are usually relievers
Brown Inhalers are daily used preventers
Pink/Purple/White Inhalers are normally known as combination does.
