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.

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?

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!!
