speak to your chemist/pharmacist who will be able to advise you appropriately.

I agree the pharmacy should advise. I have qvar and they say the particles in it are smaller than Clenil hence why it is more potent

its the same thing but higher potency, my daughter had this during covid as clenil wasnt available she still took the same amount pf qcar as she would of clenil
