Hi, the list was up on the Asthma UK website but isn’t there now as the shielding guidance has been updated.

It’s not based on specific inhalers/doses now but a combination of factors including inhalers, add on medications and steroid use. This is the link to their most up to date advice:

I've found that Prednisolone is the item they're looking for. If you're on inhalers & Montelukast the next item, the one that puts you on the list, is Prednisolone (steroids). If you're on 5mg/day or had 4 courses in the last 6 months then you'll be on the list.
