Allowing more AIR in asthma care

Anti-inflammatory reliever (AIR) therapy could be a very effective way forward for people with asthma who experience symptoms twice a week or less. This top tips article outlines key points and tips which you can use to recommend it and implement an AIR regimen for your asthma patients.

The BTS/NICE/SIGN asthma guidelines now recommend moving away from blue (reliever) and brown (preventer) inhalers. 

Many people with asthma still rely on their blue inhaler despite the fact they:

  • Do not treat the underlying inflammation, and
  • Can result in worse asthma control and increased symptoms. 

Brown inhalers also often do not treat the symptoms quick enough. 

Do your patients need something better? Something that suits them AND effectively treats the inflammation and symptoms they experience? Anti-inflammatory reliever (AIR) therapy is the way forward for people with asthma who experience symptoms twice a week or less. Use this top tips article to recommend it and implement an AIR regimen for your asthma patients.
