HAVE YOU TAKEN YOUR INHALER? HOW MUCH IS LEFT IN IT? Blue inhalers save lives. Unless they are empty. Long after the medication has run out, the propellant keeps puffing. Smart Rescue will tell you when your blue rescue inhaler is running low or empty. It will also show how many puffs you needed in the past 90 days. This will help you identify your triggers and help your prescriber optimise your medication. Brown inhalers also save lives. But have you taken it? How do you know? Smart Rescue sends reminders to take your medication morning and evening. And tells you when you last used your inhaler. You can share your inhaler records with your GP or parent/carer. Better compliance with preventer medication reduces reliance on reliever inhalers, which is better for your health. Important Health Disclaimer: Smart Rescue is a tool designed to assist users in managing their inhaler usage and improving medication adherence. It does not replace professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Please consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice regarding your health and medications.
