World Asthma Day 2022

Using your inhalers correctly (with a spacer) will help close the gap in asthma care by improving lung function, reducing asthma flare-ups, improving the effectiveness of medication allowing it to get to the lungs which can reduce oral side effects, stopping medication getting into the mouth, throat and stomach. No improvement can be expected if the medication is not going where it needs to 👉 LUNGS. For these reasons, if your PUFFER PUFFS, put a spacer on it. Help share the word for this World Asthma Day, 3rd of May! 💙
