New asthma plan.

[Oldbiddy64]

I saw my asthma nurse today for a review. It turns out that my asthma is not well controlled at the moment. She has changed my seretide from the evohaler 250/25 twice a day to the accuhaler at dose 500/50 to be taken as one puff twice a day. Am I missing something here? The dose looks the same to me. She said the only way she could increase the seretide was to change me to the accuhaler. . any help would be gratefully received.

Yes, its the same dose just a different device. It's also about £20 per month cheaper. The current dose is the maximum amount of Seretide under it's current licence so increasing the dose in my opinion isn't really an option.

Thanks for your help. I spoke to the doctor earlier and it turns out she wants me to take two puff's of the 500/50 accuhaler. This is double the manufacturers recommendations. Let us hope it helps.
