How relevant is the flow rate to Clenil dosage?
I seem to have the same Standard Peak Flow result (420-450) when taking Clenil 200 x2 twice daily as I did taking Clenil 100x2 twice daily.
I worry that my dosage is higher than required- any thoughts please?
Peak flow is just one part of asthma control, and should be used in context - and always comparing against yourself, not anyone else.

Besides the peak flow, how have your asthma symptoms been on the higher dose of Clenil? If you find (after giving it time to work) that you're needing your reliever much less, not noticing symptoms, not waking at night if you were etc, then that suggests the higher dose is needed. If you have minimal or no symptoms on the higher dose for a while (maybe 6 months) you could ask your GP about dropping back down.
I was speaking to our asthma nurse not so long ago after starting montelukast and we decided to stay with the higher dose for six months then drop to a mix of 200/100 for a while and see how it goes before considering going down to the low dose again.
thank you - this is really helpful info 👍

Probiotics and Peak Flow Improvement
Peak Flow doesn't always drop despite being symptomatic. 
Peak flow higher in the evening
If my peak flow has always been low what will spirometry reveal?
