Hi

Each of your inhalers is a stand alone medication which requires no further assistance from any other product. Unless stated in the instructions for use.

The order you choose to take them is a personal choice, rather than a medical benefit.

The only recommendation given by my PR class was, if you have mucus problem, take ventolin first then do your chest clearance , then continue with your other inhalers.

For me I take spireva first , then shower dress breakfast, then seretide, I rarely use ventolin .

I always take mine in the same order, main rule being bronchodilator about 10-15 mins before steroid inhaler, but you are right the best person to ask concerning the order you should take your lung medicines is the respiratory nurse or doctor.

Not what you're looking for?
