I have only had Salamol, and I am fine with it. However mine does not have any feeling in my mouth. It’s no different to the Fostair in feeling.

A lot of people are being switched from ventolin to salamol. Salamol is the generic version of salbutamol.

For some people the switch is fine, for some it is not. If it does not work for you ask your GP to specifically prescribe you, your original inhaler.

Not what you're looking for?
