Hope 680 here.

Hope 680 here. I take Sertide 125 x2 puffs daily. I just wondering if Sertide 125 can be increased . I have had a flare up of my asthma but my peak flow measure is sitting at 340/350 which is normal for me over the past few weeks. My oxygen levels are sitting at 99% when I got checked out at hospital yesterday. I phone my GP this morning to get advice and asked for a call back from the doctor but was told it was only in cases of emergency i could get this call. Would be grateful for any advice.

Seretide 125 should normally be 2 puffs TWICE a day.

This is helpful thank you. I will try and get an appointment with GP.

Good move!

An extra puff certainly will not do any harm to you if you feel the need.

[Hope680 in reply to PMRPete]

Yes I thought so too , but needed that reassure that I was doing the right thing. Will get it checked out with GP. Thank you.

[PMRPete in reply to Hope680]

Maximum safe dose of your inhaler would be total of 12 puffs per day, but only for a limited time.

Thank you for the information. Appreciate that.
