Ramadan and inhalers

All those who have been prescribed inhalers should continue to use them in Ramadan even if they are fasting by simply changing the time of inhalation to "before end of SAHOOR" and "after FATOOR".

Most of the prescribed regimens are for twice daily inhalation or once daily for some and with litle modification should be contiued.

Enjoy Ramadan without dicnontinuing your inhalers .....
