About the product

A COPD rescue pack is intended for those who suffer with COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) to be used when a reliever inhaler is no longer providing relief. You can choose between Amoxicillin 500mg (one tablet, 3 times a day) for 7 days with prednisolone 30mg (6 tablets once a day) for 5 days Doxycycline 100mg (take 2 tablets on day one, then one tablet each day for the following 6 days) with prednisolone 30mg (6 tablets once a day) for 5 days   Please note, our prescribers may contact you to recommend a different antibiotic than the one you have chosen. This is to avoid antibiotic resistance. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Have a question ? we’re here to help

What is a COPD rescue pack?

If you buy a COPD rescue pack it is intended for those who suffer from COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) to be used when a reliever inhaler (such as a blue Salbutamol inhaler) is no longer providing relief. A COPD rescue pack should be used when you are experiencing a COPD flare-up. Your doctor or prescriber will be able to inform you when you should be using a COPD rescue pack.

If you buy COPD rescue packs online, or from your local GP, they can be an effective way to help manage your COPD and control symptoms and flare-ups. People who experience frequent flare-ups of at least 2 a year are most likely to benefit from having a COPD rescue pack at the ready to prepare themselves for a possible flare-up. Often these patients will understand and recognise their symptoms to be able to self-diagnose. If you are unsure or are noticing symptoms different from previous flare-ups you should speak to your GP or doctor.

You can buy COPD rescue packs for future use from e-Surgery and they can be ordered with a simple health questionnaire. If you would like to learn more information before you buy COPD rescue packs online use our free Ask-A-Pharmacist service to support any underlying questions you might have.

We advise that you consult with either your doctor or prescriber before you buy a COPD rescue pack.

What does a COPD rescue pack contain?

Whenever you buy COPD rescue packs they will contain a steroid called Prednisolone. You will be given 30 prednisolone tablets to be taken over 5 days (6 x 5mg tablets) and should take 6 tablets each day.

It will also contain an antibiotic to help fight off any infection. This will generally be Doxycycline 100mg. You should take 2 tablets on the first day and 1 tablet a day for the following 6 days.

As an alternative to Doxycycline, you may be prescribed Amoxicillin 500mg to be taken 3 times a day for 7 days.

We advise that you consult with either your doctor or prescriber before you buy a COPD rescue pack.

When should a COPD rescue pack be used?

When you buy COPD rescue packs you should only use them when your reliever inhaler is no longer providing relief for your COPD symptoms. If you experience frequent COPD exacerbations (at least twice a year) you will likely understand your symptoms and be able to start treatment when you feel a COPD flare-up is likely. If your symptoms change or develop from previous flare-ups you should contact your doctor.

Symptoms of a COPD flare-up include:

  • Increased breathlessness which interferes with daily activities
  • New or increased chest tightness
  • Change in sputum (phlegm) quantity
  • Change in sputum (phlegm) colour
  • Cough new or increased

If you have had any recent changes in your general health, or have started taking any new medicines since you were given the COPD rescue pack, please contact your COPD team, GP or practice nurse before starting your COPD rescue pack.

You are advised to contact your GP or practice nurse within three days of starting your COPD rescue pack to let them know that you have started it.
