Who is this treatment for?

We can only supply through this service for the person completing the assessment.

Have you been diagnosed with asthma by a doctor or asthma nurse?

Salbutamol relievers should only be used where asthma has been properly diagnosed.

Have you used a blue (salbutamol) reliever inhaler before, prescribed for you?
How many reliever inhalers have you used in the last month?

Needing your blue inhaler often can be a sign your asthma is not well controlled.

How often do you currently use your blue reliever inhaler?
In the last 4 weeks, how often have your asthma symptoms woken you at night?
Have you had an asthma attack, needed steroid tablets for your asthma, or been to A&E or hospital for your asthma in the last 12 months?
Do you also use a preventer (usually brown, orange or purple) inhaler?

A preventer is the treatment that actually controls asthma; relying on the reliever alone is not safe long-term.

When did you last have an asthma review with your GP or asthma nurse?
Do you have any of the following heart conditions?

Salbutamol can affect heart rate and rhythm.

Do you have any of the following?
Are you currently taking any of the following?

These can interact with salbutamol.

Have you ever had an allergic reaction to salbutamol or any inhaler ingredient?
Are you pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning a pregnancy?
Do you understand that if your reliever isn't controlling your symptoms you should seek urgent medical help, and that regular reliance on a blue inhaler needs a proper asthma review?

Worsening asthma can be life-threatening. If in doubt, contact your GP, NHS 111, or in an emergency call 999.

Do you confirm the information you've given is accurate and complete to the best of your knowledge?
Do you consent to us informing your NHS GP that you have started this treatment?
