It sounds like you haven't been shown properly how to use it as it works for others. Why not take your inhalers and spacer into your pharmacist and ask them to show you? They will know. There are also lots of demos on YouTube.

As far as I'm aware there are no injections for asthma.

Relvar Ellipta 92/22 isn't yellow and isn't even a pump. It is a powder inhaler.

So tell me, how do you use a spacer?

It was blue, has it changed?

You need to take your inhalers. Relvar Ellipta should not be stopped without advice from your gp.

It contains a high dose of steriod that you shouldn't just stop.

Go to your GP as soon as you can

I'm afraid it looks like answering the questions isn't helping, as the IP isn't either understanding the response or is wilfully being obtuse. There maybe no option to request admin to step in, if there is an admin/moderator team.

I would go back to doctors/ asthma nurse. There are inhalers that you just breathe in and the dose is released or powder inhalers but they are different medications to the ones you take.

I was told to use a spacer as every time I take the clenli inhaler, I gag. When using the spacer take deep breaths, push button and keep breathing.

But speaks just to your doctor, see what they can advice. Be firm but within politeness, so they understand where you are coming from.

hope it gets sorted!

I think you need advise from your doctor. You need a re-evaluation of your condition and the medications you are taking.
