Advice, Information & Support

Inhaler Project:

We have recently been instructed to make changes to the way that we prescribe inhalers due to some inhalers have a significantly higher carbon footprint than others. For example, each Ventolin inhaler produces the carbon dioxide equivalent of a 75 mile petrol car journey (28 Kg CO2E), Salamol produces much less (10 Kg CO2E). We are contacting patient's who's inhalers have been changed via text message. You should use your new Salamol inhaler exactly as you would have used your Ventolin inhaler.
