The treatment
Fast relief when airways tighten.
Salbutamol is a short-acting reliever. When you breathe it in, it relaxes the muscles around your airways so they open up — easing wheezing, breathlessness and chest tightness within a few minutes. It's the medicine inside the familiar blue inhaler.
Using it well
Getting the most from
your inhaler.
Good technique means more of the medicine reaches your lungs. Here's the essentials for a standard metered-dose inhaler — your leaflet has the full instructions for your device.
Shake & prepare
Remove the cap and shake the inhaler well. Breathe out gently, away from the mouthpiece, until your lungs feel empty.
Breathe in as you press
Seal your lips around the mouthpiece and, as you start to breathe in slowly and deeply, press down once to release a puff.
Hold, then repeat
Hold your breath for about 10 seconds, then breathe out slowly. Wait roughly 30 seconds before a second puff if needed.

a week reaching for your reliever — time to see your GP or asthma nurse
How often you reach for it matters
A reliever inhaler treats symptoms as they happen — it doesn't control the underlying asthma.
Well-controlled asthma usually means needing your reliever no more than a couple of times a week.
In an asthma attack — if your reliever isn't helping, you can't speak in full sentences, or your breathing is getting worse.
How often you reach for it matters
A reliever inhaler treats symptoms as they happen — it doesn’t control the underlying asthma. If you’re needing yours often, it can be a sign your asthma isn’t as settled as it should be.
Well-controlled asthma usually means needing your reliever no more than a couple of times a week, with no night-time waking from symptoms.
