How do I know if I'm
having an asthma attack?
You are having an asthma attack if:
• Your symptoms continue to get worse after
you have used your reliever inhaler.
• Your breathing is getting faster and it feels like
you can't get your breath in properly.
• You are too breathless to speak, eat or sleep.
Reporting of side effects: If you get any side effects, talk to your doctor, nurse or pharmacist. This includes any possible side effects not listed in the package leaflet. You can also report
side effects directly via the Yellow Card Scheme at: www.mhra.gov.uk/yellowcard. By reporting side effects you can help provide more information on the safety of this medicine.

What should I do if I'm having an
asthma attack?
What to do in an asthma attack:
A) Sit up straight – don't lie down. Try to keep calm.
B) Take one puff of your reliever inhaler (usually blue)
every 30-60 seconds, up to a maximum of 10 puffs.
C) If you feel worse at any point while you're using your
inhaler or you don't feel better after 10 puffs or you're
worried at any time, call 999 for an ambulance.
D) If the ambulance is taking longer than 15 minutes
you can repeat step B.
If your symptoms improve and you
do not need to call 999 or a doctor:
• You should still make an urgent same day
appointment with your doctor, nurse or pharmacist
for an asthma review.
