Breathe Easy
Your horse has been prescribed Aservo® EquiHaler® to treat their equine asthma
Why has your vet prescribed Aservo® EquiHaler® for your horse?
Severe equine asthma is characterised by inflammation in the lungs leading to symptoms including coughing, wheezing, poor performance and struggling to breathe.1
By treating the inflammation in your horse’s lungs with Aservo® EquiHaler® and changing their environment to prevent symptoms from coming back, you are giving them the best opportunity to live a comfortable and energetic life.
Treating inflammation in the airways
Reducing inflammation in the airways is the cornerstone of equine asthma management. Reducing inflammation opens up the airways and allows your horse to breathe more comfortably. Corticosteroids are considered the most effective class of medicine in reducing inflammation in the airways.1
Aservo® EquiHaler®
Historically, treating lower airway inflammation effectively with corticosteroids has been a challenge because of the effects these medicines can have on the rest of the body. Aservo®EquiHaler® provides effective corticosteroid treatment specifically targeted only to the lungs, allowing horses and ponies with equine asthma to breathe comfortably while reducing the risks you may have associated with giving steroids in the past.2
