The Lodge Health Partnership Cares About the Planet

The Lodge Health Partnership is working to help the environment. Ventolin, a common inhaler, has a lot of propellant gas which can harm the earth. Switching to another brand like Salamol, which has the same medicine but less harmful gas, is better for the environment.

You might see your inhaler’s name change to Salamol when you next ask for your Ventolin prescription. It's still the same medicine and works the same way but is kinder to our planet.

At your next Asthma Review appointment, we can talk more about how we can use inhalers that are better for the environment.

Please return used inhalers to your pharmacy instead of throwing them in the trash. This helps keep harmful materials out of landfills.

Thank you for caring! For more information, visit the Green Inhaler website.
