Because medication is prescribed differently for each person it might be an idea to give the chemist a call or ask for a call off your GP who will put your mind at rest
sorry to be slopy sholdered on this i do use saline nebs but would hate to tell you wrong
hi Lola,
Thanks for your reply.
I guess time Will tell when get them and receive a copy of letter to my doctor x
I agree with Lola, you need to speak to the person who prescribed them, as they can be used in different ways. Some people are prescribed them for use alone (ie to cough up mucous), others are prescribed them to dilute another drug in a nebuliser. And in some people they can make asthmatic's more wheezy, so you need the person who prescribed them to be clear with you about instructions. I used to have saline nebs after a salbutamol neb. The salbutamol opened my airways (and prevented the saline nebs causing additonal wheeziness, whilst the saline helped me to cough up mucous.
