Hi everyone,

I have been on Clencil Modulite 100mg for over 3 years. However, am finding it not being effective no longer I am needing bit extra middle if the day.

Has anyone got any advice or suggestions what I can tell my asthma nurse to get her to change things up a bit.

What could I say to her ? What Preventers do you think she might suggest for me to try? Dr put on my notes change to a turbohaler.

Hi Claire, you might find this post helpful - it's a list of options that your GP/asthma nurse can try: healthunlocked.com/asthmauk...

I'd also suggest you give the asthma nurses on the helpline a call - they're great at discussing your options and can suggest what you might want to ask your asthma nurse about. 0300 2225800 or WhatsApp on 07999 377 775 Monday-Friday 0915-5pm

I was on Clenil a long time then realised it was giving me slight asthma. Was put on Flixotide and use spacer, very rarely do I even have to use Ventolin since. There's lots of different ones but I'm sure your asthma nurse can advise you. Good luck.
