Summer time can be difficult time for asthma management.

If you have hay fever it can worsen asthma - to avoid this try to avoid being outdoors during the hottest parts of the day and when pollen levels are at their highest.

Heavy, humid air can make it harder to breathe - always make sure inhalers are kept cool (below 30°C) and out of direct sunlight.

Stay hydrated and keep taking any daily asthma medication!

Check an online pharmacy is registered when buying medicine online

Thousands of fake online pharmacies are operating and sell fake or unsafe medicines that don’t work or are harmful to your health.

Before you buy, take a moment to check the pharmacy is registered, so you can be confident you will get medicines that are safe and right for you. All legitimate pharmacies in Great Britain have to be registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council.

✅ Look for the pharmacy’s registration details on the website
✅ Search for them on the official pharmacy register

It’s a simple step that will help protect your health.
