Blue to New

Still using a blue inhaler?

It’s time for an upgrade!

Blue inhalers help to open your airways so you can breathe more easily, but Asthma is also caused by swelling inside your lungs.
Combination inhalers can:

 Help you breathe easier
 Reduce swelling in your lungs

This means:
• Less risk of Asthma attacks
• Better daily control
• Healthier lungs

What should you do?
If you use a blue inhaler, it’s important to have an Asthma review.
An Asthma review will:
• Check your symptoms
• Make sure you’re using your inhaler correctly
• See if a combination inhaler is right for you

Call us today to book your review.
