New information sheets on asthma
The National Asthma Council has launched information sheets on five key topics identified in the updated Australian Asthma Handbook. The topics covered are: overcoming Australia’s over-reliance on ‘blue puffers’ for asthma; anti-inflammatory reliever is the recommended starting treatment for asthma; maintenance-and-reliever therapy for asthma; oral corticosteroid use in asthma: what’s safe and appropriate?; and triple therapy for asthma in primary care.
