There is a new way to treat severe
equine asthma

A unique way to treat severe equine asthma

For horses and ponies held back by equine asthma, it’s important to treat their lower airway inflammation and manage the allergens in their environment in order to restore their freedom.

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. Now the Aservo^®EquiHaler^®provides effective corticosteroid treatment specifically targeted 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.

Designed for horses and the people who care for them

The Aservo^® EquiHaler^® is designed specifically for use in horses.

In clinical trials, 95% of horses accepted the treatment with 93% compliance from the owner.³To get the best results with your patients we have a range of materials to support you and your clients but first read on to find out why it’s worth teaching your clients how to use the EquiHaler^®.
