The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is reminding patients with asthma of the importance of using their preventer (anti-inflammatory) inhaler regularly as prescribed, and to avoid relying on their blue inhaler alone. This is because without regular use of a preventer inhaler, symptoms could worsen and increase the risk of severe asthma attacks.
We encourage Patients with Asthma to read the full press release on the MHRA website.
All Asthmatics should have an annual review of their condition. We invite patients on a regular basis for their Asthma reviews. We strongly encourage patients to book their review promptly when you are invited. If you have Asthma, it is very important that it is controlled using your preventer inhaler. You Asthma review will check this and provide you with advice on your condition and how to control it effectively.
