❄️ Breathe easier this winter!

Winter can be tough on your lungs, especially if you have COPD.

Make sure you use your inhalers the right way – every day, to help keep your airways open, control symptoms and prevent flare-ups!

• Use them every day, even when you feel well
• Keep a spare inhaler and don’t run out of medicine

If you’re not sure how to use your inhaler, ask your pharmacist to show you how.

Or select your inhaler from the list and find step-by-step guidance at👉https://ow.ly/4CZ650Xmo8P

🦠💊 Antibiotics are powerful medicines - but they aren’t always the answer. Using them when they’re not needed can cause harm and make future infections harder to treat.

Here’s what you should know:
✔️ They only work against bacterial infections, not viruses like colds or flu.

✔️ Overuse is driving antibiotic‑resistance (“superbugs”) - which means common infections can become untreatable.

✔️ Do these things to help protect their effectiveness:
‑ Only take antibiotics when prescribed by a healthcare professional
‑ Complete the full course exactly as directed
‑ Never save antibiotics for later or share them with others
