Yes, you might need to. Many people with asthma use a reliever inhaler such as Salamol Easi-Breathe along with a preventer inhaler. A preventer inhaler is used regularly every day. It's meant to stop asthma symptoms by reducing inflammation in the lungs. A reliever inhaler is used differently because you only use it 'as needed' during an attack or if you feel one might be coming on. Most people with asthma use a preventer inhaler in the morning and evening and keep a reliever inhaler with them. There are combination inhalers available that work as both a preventer and a reliever inhaler.

Salamol Easi-Breathe doesn't have any steroids. It's a reliever inhaler, while steroids are included in preventer inhalers because they work like the glands in your body that naturally produce steroids. Preventer and reliever inhalers are commonly used together to provide both long-term and short-term treatment for asthma.

The Salamol Easi-Breathe inhaler and the Ventolin inhaler both have an active ingredient that helps relax the airways during an asthma attack. However, there are some important differences between Ventolin and Salamol Easi-Breathe. Ventolin and Salamol Easi-breathe come from different manufacturers. Salamol Easi-Breathe tends to be less expensive than Ventolin. The inhalers have a different appearance as well; Ventolin is an aerosol inhaler, while Salamol Easi-Breathe is activated by your breath.

The Salamol Easi-Breathe inhaler is like the Ventolin inhaler because both have the same active ingredient, salbutamol. The Ventolin inhaler is a bit different because it's a CFC inhaler. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are used in traditional inhalers to help move the medicine from the canister to the mouthpiece. Studies indicate that CFCs harm the environment and damage the Earth's ozone layer. As a result, many countries and pharmaceutical companies have pledged to reduce their use of CFCs. The Salamol Easi-Breathe inhaler uses hydrofluoroalkanes (HFAs) instead of CFCs. HFAs are better for the environment while still doing the same job.

No, it's only available with a prescription. A clinician will need to talk with you about your asthma symptoms and medical history to determine the right dosage for you. It's also crucial for a clinician to be part of your ongoing care, keeping an eye on your asthma symptoms and any changes over time. As with any medicine, Salamol Easi-Breathe may cause side effects, which a clinician should consider before prescribing it.

Salamol isn't right for everyone, and there are a few things you should know when using it. Here's all the official information on it. If you find anything unclear, please let our clinician know, and they can discuss it with you.

The Salamol Easi-Breathe inhaler, produced in the UK, is free from CFCs. It contains the active ingredient salbutamol sulfate and is recognisable by its blue colour. This inhaler provides relief during an asthma attack and can also be used as a preventative measure before coming into contact with known triggers like pet hair or exercise. Additionally, it helps alleviate symptoms of COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).

It's used to relieve an asthma attack, prevent one triggered by allergens like pet hair, pollen, and cigarette smoke, and to ease symptoms linked with COPD.
