Nebuliser

[whit]

i posted a couple of months ago that i couldn't get salbutamol nebules, a week after i posted i had some delivered, i tried to get some last week told there is a shortage of them so i googled salbutamol nebules and it does seem as though there is problems trying to get them, so i have just finished my rescue pack ,no nebules so i am trying to take four puffs of my salamol inhaler with spacer, it doesn't do a lot of good though. that's my moan for the week ,thanks now for any reply's

Hi Whit, Yes I too am waiting for the salbutamol nebules. Out of stock . The inhalers arent as effective. But it seems we have no choice.

Hope we dont wait much longer. ..😉✖

I have to nebulise twice daily with salbutamol. Down to last few, told pharmacy cannot get them. Waiting for my respiratory consultant to tell me what will replace it, or when I can expect to get a supply. Good luck !!

Pete seems to be getting his salbutamol nebules for now but hasn’t needed to order any for a little while. He might struggle in the future but l hope not. Everyone needs their medication so fingers crossed for all xxx

it worries me when stuff isn’t available.

I try to keep well to avoid hospital admissions,but it is t easy.

I’ve just changed pharmacy,I picked the first month yesterday.

Everything was in stock,and the staff were pleasant,they said they were glad to have me. My repeat is large,even more so since I had the heart attack.so I must be worth money to them.

I didn’t realise how much the pharmacy situation was affecting me,till yesterday.

I was so relieved when everything was in stock,it was like a weight being lifted.

I’m still owed 2 items by the old pharmacy from 4 weeks ago.

I’m hoping that everyone is managing to get what they need

It’s certainly not easy Oshgosh and Pete has a large prescription to fill too. I hope your new Pharmacy continues to provide all you need.

Take care xxx❤️

it’s an added anxiety we could do without .

I had a problem with Combivent nebules ….a mix of Salbutamol and a longer lasting reliever …it works for me .

Got one box , but don’t know if I can get another as it’s not on my list .

awful having to ration them .

10 puffs = 1 5mg neb x

I've had problems getting salbutamol nebs for the last 4 months. Eventually my doctor put me on sodium chloride 0.9% nebs, which are ok and certainly better than nothing. They do help to clear the tubes but leave you thirsty as it is basically a salt solution.

[knitter]

can ALUK as an organisation make enquiries , and let us know ?

[Oshgosh]

I’ve rung the old pharmacy today,they said that they can’t get hold of saline nebules 0.9?

This is worrying.

It is worrying to know that so many people are having to do without medicines they need. What next?
