Salbutamol nebuliser solution shortage

We have been informed that there is an ongoing shortage of salbutamol solutions for nebulisers that is likely to last until summer 2024. If you live in Greater Manchester and you have COPD or asthma your GP has been provided with guidelines to ensure that any impact on your care is minimised, and your GP will be able to advise you further.

GPs elsewhere in the UK will also need to prepare, and update your action plan accordingly.

If at all concerned contact your GP for advice, as all should be aware of this situation.
