Reliever Medicine
Reliever medicines are short-acting medicines that temporarily relax the muscles around the airways and are used only as needed.
Remember to check with your local pharmacy on how to dispose of unwanted/expired medication, including asthma devices.

Proper Device Technique
To make sure your asthma medicine reaches your lungs, it is important to use the proper technique. Each type of medicine device requires a different technique. Your doctor and your pharmacist should be able to demonstrate the proper device technique and teach you how to help your child take asthma medicine correctly.
