Hi

Easi Breath is Breath activated so you get more of the medication.

Ventolin same active ingredient requires some degree of co ordination to get the same results.

Ventolin is best used with a spacer device, you can take one slow deep inhalation or 4/5 normal tidal breaths which will empty the chamber

[stone-UK in reply to Hidden]

Hi

Normal chest breathing, slow and steady.

Thanks stone I've used easi breathe today ,deffo is better than the ventolin and spacer,it must be the way it is taken thank god

Using a spacer ensures you get 50% more of the ventolin than you would if you don't use a spacer.

Also, it's advisable to wait 30 seconds between doses of Ventolin as it take a little time for the medication to drop through the propellant - as with other other spray type (metered dose) inhalers.
