New inhaler

[John1922]

Got a new inhaler today but they forgot to deliver the spacer.

Anyone tried this one I have?

don’t know this one but I have used an inhaler without a spacer and seemed ok. Get a spare spacer if you can as they don’t last forever

[John1922 in reply to Mopsey1897]

Will do

Good luck with it, don't forget to read the leaflet!

[John1922 in reply to peege]

lol i never read the leaflet

[peege in reply to John1922]

😱😧 always keep one of every leaflet! They tell you medication that youre not supposed to mix with (ie Amlodipine for high BP shouldn't be taken with Atvorstatin for high cholesterol - I'vde taken Atvorstatin for many years before BP went up & so prescribed Amlodipine. The prescriber doesn't often check what's compatible with what. Its up to us to check and the leaflet is so informative

I googled bevespi it's a non steroid inhaler for copd to open airways s however not suitable for asthma cos it has no steroids in it

Good morning John 1922. Never heard of the inhaler. Hope you get your Spacer soon. When they changed my inhaler they didn't put a spacer on my prescription so I brought one. Over 7 quid for a bit of plastic. Hope the new inhaler works for you. Brian
