Stopping inhalers

[Kim8060]

Hi everyone

I wrote about my mum being given stronger antibiotics and more steroids for an infection but should she be stopping her inhalers whilst taking them?

Gosh, no Kim. She has to keep taking her inhalers. If in any doubt, have a quick chat with her GP or contact the BLF helpline 03000 030 555. Hope she feels better soon x

Thank you pained for your reply but I was talking about her inhalers. She has stopped taking them while she is on her antibiotics and steroids.
