THE National Asthma Council Australia (NAC) today released a new chart First Aid for Asthma chart for combination inhalers with Formoterol, that provides guidance for the use of preventer and reliever combinations in an emergency.
The new First Aid for Asthma (FAFA) chart is based on combination inhalers with formoterol (Symbicort, Fostair, DuoResp, BiResp) and outlines how to use one of these inhalers if this is the person's usual reliever.
Respiratory physician and Chair of the FAFA Working Group, Prof Peter Wark, said, "combination inhalers are now a viable alternative way of treating asthma, for those with mild and moderate disease who are aged 12 and above, and there is very good evidence that it is more effective and safer than using a reliever alone."
