Prescribing
Detailed prescribing information is provided below. This content has not been generated by the RightBreathe team, but has been integrated from a 3rd party solution: Multilex (provided by FirstDataBank). Use of this prescribing content is subject to the FirstDataBank disclaimer, which is set out in the "About" section of RightBreathe.
As RightBreathe is a bespoke decision support tool, it covers each and every individual known inhaler option on the UK market to a high level of specificity. Multilex, as a more general resource, does not offer the same level of specificity. There are therefore a small number of medicines for which there are discrepancies between RightBreathe and Multilex content, most notably in relation to licensed particulars and associated licensed doses.
Given the high level of specificity the RightBreathe team work to, details of the individual inhaler licence are most likely to be summarised accurately in the content provided at the top of this page, rather than in the Multilex content below. Where there is ambiguity, users may also wish to refer to individual summaries of product characteristics prior to prescribing.
