Ring them.....you are definitely not a time waster.

I know what it’s like when Ventolin doesn’t work very well.

Have you got a preventer as well?

Ring them now and tell them about the breathlessness and how much Ventolin you are using .

Keep in contact and take care

Agreed - you may need a preventer inhaler.

Yes, you need to ring them. I know I need to contact my GP when my Ventolin is having little or no effect.

Check your technique as well on you tube.

Possible ask your doctor for a spacer device to help get the medicine deeper into your lungs.

Well done. can the pharmacy not deliver to you? Safer I think. Take good care and feel better soon.

Thanks

I'll ring in the morning and ask about delivery, we live in a village and may not deliver outside of the town

Just been told my prescription be ready after 3pm tomorrow .

Dear Frank I am not a sufferer myself. I joined this group on behalf of my father so that he could find some reassurance from others experience trying different medications My father did not get on with the ventilin but did manage well with the mucodyne and also said he got relief using Fostair ? Inhaler . I hope you start to feel some improvement soon.

I’m sorry I can’t be more helpfu. My father passed a few years ago now so I will need to delete this account. Best wishes
