Hi Have been told by a respiratory nurse that its fine to use Trimbow

[soppysokes]

up to 8 puffs per day if need a top up-thought that applied to Fostair not Trimbow? anyone else been given same advice?

[Homely2]

My thoughts are the same as yours. Ring the helpline on 0300 2225800, just to check.

[soppysokes in reply to Homely2]

thanks I will do that.

Hi I did call them and they confirmed not to take Trimbow more than the 4 puffs per day and that info given to us from surgery resp nurse was incorrect and could be damaging.Ventolin to be used for in between top ups. thanks again.

because it’s cheap and useless

I take trimbow twice a day,12 hours apart...COP nurse prescribe me Fostair to "top up"ust 4 pufs a day at most. Your Trimbow instructions sound wrong to me.

[soppysokes in reply to Kismet23]

many thanks for your reply I also think its wrong but will double check and call the line that Homely suggests.
