Asthma clinics are run by our Practice Nurse where we will assess your treatment and inhaler therapy to ensure you are on the correct medication to help keep your asthma in control.
Asthma Annual Review Questionnaire
For example, 1 Ventolin aerosol is the same as driving about 175 miles in a car. There are some aerosol inhalers with a lower footprint & so on advice from the Local Health Board we are switching you to one of these lower carbon Footprint inhalers. This is the same active medication & used in exactly the same way as your old inhaler.
There are other inhalers that have an even lower footprint & if you wish to consider these, please discuss with your asthma nurse at your next review.
