Short-acting relievers

A short-acting reliever inhaler is an essential 'on-the-spot' treatment to give you relief from asthma symptoms and asthma attacks.If you are using your reliever inhaler more than three times a week, this is a sign that your asthma is not well controlled, so see your GP or asthma nurse.
