Committee Recommendations (1)

02 Nov 22 - Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care System Area Prescribing Committee (APC)

Salbutamol Easyhaler or Ventolin Accuhaler are the locally preferred, low carbon, dry powder devices

Alternative devices:

  • Salamol (MDI) is the locally preferred salbutamol metered dose inhaler device and should be used with a spacer device. It has a lower carbon footprint than the large volume MDIs such as Ventolin.
  • Ventolin Evohaler (MDI) 

Branded prescribing of inhaler devices is recommended.
