help you when you have ongoing 
shortness of breath related to your 
disease and will help you to 
minimise the effects of the disease 
on your everyday life.

indicated for maintenance treatment

breathlessness or wheezing. If your 
COPD symptoms (breathlessness, 
wheezing, cough) do not improve or
get worse you should contact your 
doctor for advice as soon as 
possible.
