Asthma and Travel
Make sure your day-to-day management of asthma is under control before you travel.
Visit your doctor for an asthma review to fine tune your asthma management and update your asthma action plan.
Your doctor can also provide you with a letter describing your asthma and your current medication.
Check that your travel insurance policy specifically includes asthma, and that it offers the cover you need.
Take more asthma medication away with you than you think you’ll need, and always carry some with you.
Carry your asthma medication in your hand luggage.
Take your asthma medication prescriptions with you in case you lose some or all of your supplies.
Be Prepared
Compact anti-bacterial collapsible spacers are available at all UFS pharmacies, a smaller more convenient sized spacer to take in your hand luggage.
Be prepared when arriving at any new destination as conditions such as dramatic changes in temperatures, air pollution & pollen can be different at every new holiday location.
