Hi

I’d ring the surgery tomorrow and ask for a phone consultation with the doc just to double check - you don’t want to over or under medicate long term!

For tonight you have the option of sticking to the normal routine, or adding the extra salmeterol per the instructions - it’s up to you, but I’d assume if you weren’t told it was a replacement for the terbutaline then it’s an addition (especially if she’s been symptomatic recently)

Hope that helps x
