Salumol

[Normc]

Thanks to all who replied to my recent post about the switch from Ventolin. Seems inhaler technique is all important so will watch that.

With regard to the environment, 2 years ago we made a diet change only meat we eat is chicken, no more than twice a week, the least polluting of all meats to produce, the rest of our diet is vegetarian, drive less than 500 miles a year, cycle, walk, bus or train for the rest of it. Sorry to sound self entitled but if I can’t have a bit of Ventolin then it’s come to something when people we know are jetting off to the Med, or cruising the high seas. May mention that to my GP if I feel I have to ask for a change of meds. Rant over. Thanks again to you all consider it closed.

Every sympathy for you I used to be on Ventolin and now my GP practice has switched to salamol It’s supposed to have the same ingredients but I felt that Ventolin was better maybe all in my mind It certainly doesn’t have 200 puffs in it Apparently salamol is cheaper

I know everyone's opinions are different and I have respect for that I have copd and was always given ventolin I can take any liquid medicines no matter how vile and doesn't bother me but when they switched to salamol one tried many times but the taste in mouth was foul couldn't tolerate it they give me ventolin again they said its just the same you know I said no it's not some it not right

I agree with you . We goodies try to do our bit for the environment, but get deprived of the one thing which would make our lives better. PS Since hopefully most of a dose of Ventolin goes into us, can it really be doing that much damage to the atmosphere?
