Asthma sufferers
All athletes who use asthma inhalers are required to register with UK Athletics (UKA). You should have been given a form by the club’s Membership Secretary, but if not contact either the Membership Secretary (Rose Webb) or your Team Manager.
 
UK Athletics now require notification if you use:
• Salbutamol (Ventolin)
• Terbutaline (Bricanyl)
 
Please note it is your responsibility to notify UK athletics if this affects you.
Find attached information about asthma.
 
Cough & Cold remedies
Always check with the pharmacist or your doctor that any medicine does not contain substances from banned stimulants list. Some common medicines that contain banned stimulants are: Benylin Four Flu, Beechams flu Plus, Day nurse, Conate 400, Mucron, Lemsip cold and flu, Sinutab, Vicks medinite, Sudufed tablets, Nurufen cold and flu tablets.
 
Epi Pens
Team Managers cannot be held responsible for epi pens. If a situation arises in which an athlete needs to be administered with their epi pen a family member must be on hand to do so.
Junior members should not be overly concerned with regard to drug testing ect. But are encouraged to be mindful of the things they are taking.
