Blue reliever inhalers Posted or Updated on 14 Jan 2025

Does your child use a blue reliever inhaler?

Children who need to use a blue reliever inhaler more than 2 to 3 times per week are more likely to have severe asthma/wheeze attacks.

We are taking part in the Prescription Alerts for Reliever inhalers in Children (PARC) Project led by University Hospitals Southampton NHS Foundation Trust. The aim of this project is to find out whether an enhanced nurse-led check-up will reduce the number of asthma/wheeze attacks experienced by children and young people using too many blue inhalers.

If your child is eligible to take part in the PARC Project, you may be contacted by the practice between May 2024 and October 2026.
