You only need to use the blue to treat acute symptoms unless you have been told to use before your brown inhaler.
I agree. x
I've always taken my blue one first. much better if you use a spacer
I've always used my blue one 1st. always through a spacer.
Oops sorry don't know what happened there.
You only need to use your blue inhaler when you require it.i e chest tightness. Wheeze etc.. The old advice years ago was to use it before your preventer inhaler to open your airways.
Ok thank you everyone but I found it better trying using the blue first then 10mins after having preventer before I went on school run as it cold air that starts me off
Typically users of Preventer Inhalers are using the Preventer Inhaler once or twice a day. Blue Rescue Inhalers are only supposed to be used as sparingly as possible. If your Preventer Inhaler Prescription requires you to use it twice a day and you also start taking your Rescue Inhaler before each dose of Preventer, you'll be using your Rescue Inhaler twice a day too. You really ought to check with your GP as to whether that is safe / necessary, as it sounds like 'very high' usage of a Rescue Inhaler unless your GP has pre-approved that amount of daily Rescue Medication due to the severity of your condition, or possibly for a short period of exacerbation.
