I don't have one, but I feel terrible because I was switched from inhaler budesonide/formoterol, which I never used, to the name brand Symbicort, and I just have to throw the generic brand away when I know people really desperately need it out there😖😖😖 I hope someone comes along with a canister for you

A medication that isn't needed can be returned to the pharmacy but it will then be disposed of. They are never reissued to someone else.

Hello Steve, I was given the use of a portable oxygen concentrator via my respiratory nurse. It's worh asking if you can have one on loan from the hospital or wherever. As it happened, the concentrator didn't suit me (I'm a dysfunctional breather!) but I do have a brand new rucksack type holder which you are welcome to have for a small fee.

Hello Steve. I do have an Inogen one G2 which gave me many hours of going out in the car, traveling overseas and lots of happy memories! I am sad to see it go. I need to get all the bits and pieces together as I have 'outgrown' this one and need a higher litre on occasions. I have a table top charger as well and two large batteries. I need to stop and rest between doing things so will take me some time to sort. Hope you find what you need. All the Best. x

Hi Little-lung-lulu, Thanks for your reply. I’d be interested in buying your portable oxygen concentrator if possible, it would fit my needs well. Could you please give me any other information you think relevant and an idea of what the price would be? Thanks again, Steve.

Hello Steve. I have found the instruction book and need to gather the car charger etc. but wont have time until after next week. I see they(Health Unlocked) no longer have a separate area where we could buy and sell our equipment. Once I have myself sorted I could send you photos of the Inogen one G2. Please make sure this machine will suit your needs. Have a look at the model online to see if it will be okay. I have flown with my machine as well. £900. Am in Buckinghamshire area x

Hello Steve I have Phillips Simply Go mini that I was considering upgrading as I need a constant flow instead of a pulse flow. I have all the bits and purchased the extended battery. If you are interested let me know.

Hi Bham-Mo I have just been prescribed oxygen therapy for getting around. I hate the thought of having to carry the cylinder around with me. I am also going to turkey in July. Is your concentrator still available? And if so how much do you want for it ?

Many thanks Jackie x

Hi, if you’re in UK this should be provided for free by NHS. Tell your oxygen nurse what you need and make sure you say a portable concentrator would give you a better quality of life. Good luck. Joy x.

Hey Steve doesn't your local NHS supplu free of charge? I live in Spain and my local health people supply this free of charge.

Hi Handihaler, The NHS will supply one only if your staying in this country. Unfortunately they won’t lend one to take abroad. Thanks for your reply, really appreciated.

The NHS gave me a portable flask which uses liquid oxygen. It's good as it doesn't need to be charged using the now, VERY expensive electricity.

Hi Steve, I have a Philips Respironics Simply Go Mini, little used (about 120 hours) and in good nick. I'm asking £950 with a month to return it if you're not happy. I have only used it for travel - OK for planes etc. It has a regular battery (4 1/2 hours on low setting and an extended battery (9 hours on the same setting). Will deliver 4 Litres/Minute pulsed). I live in Cranleigh, Surrey.

Let me know if you want further info or are interested.

Hi there- I know this is a little old, but are you still selling your portable condenser? We are very local to you and would be interested?

Hello, I’m sorry, but it was sold only a couple of weeksago. It would be worthwhile asking on Health Unlocked - someone did recently and had several offers.

Sorry I can’t help more. Good luck.
