use of ventolin

[Shaft1952]

I don't actually use ventolin, but as a retired nurse.i would deffinetly day discuss it with your Gp or nurse specialist before stopping it. Hope this helps

sorry but I don’t know who you have replied to? By creating a new post it is difficult for the reader to understand what is being discussed. If you continue the thread underneath a partial post it’s easy to understand.

it’s usually prescribed prn though, so people only use it when needed

Not only do I use a spacer with a mask {Sure to get full dose} along side Spiriva Fostair 200 and 600 I use ventolin as a short term relief from my asthma. And I do not care what anyone says, this was prescribed by my Cosultant{ He is one of the TOP respiritory consultants in England} and it works for me. If the symptoms continue then I can use my Fostair 100 which will normally reult in normal breathing. Insidentaly I only take one inhalation of ventolin before taking Fostair which contains prednisolone. Prednisolone I have not taken in tablet form for over 1 year due to my Biologic Injection

hello, who is your consultant, can you say?

[Wheesy]

My consultant does not do private consultations. He is based mainly in the Yorkshire Area, and when required will go to other Hospitals on request. I dare not give his full title as this would contravene the data protection act

giving his name will not breach data protection at all - if run and manage GDPR - it’s quite acceptable to share and recommend consultants and my many friends who are consultants are happy to be recommended!!
