Important reminder for patients with asthma

Posted on:

A reminder for patients with asthma of the increased risk of severe asthma attacks from overusing blue inhalers.

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.
