Welcome Hecter

I don't have asthma but I do have emphysema. There are lots of drugs available but we each are prescribed according to our individual needs and what may suit one, won't always suit another. You might want to discuss this with your doctor or asthma nurse to see if there is something that may be more helpful to you.

Let us know how you get on.

Here is NHS choices pages on Asthma Medicines and drugs:

m_pillock I know this is only the internet but I find your response is aggressive and it did upset me.I just feel that the USA has more access to new technology and I wish to find out more.As your response was the first I have had from this site I was so dissappointed.A GPs appointment is 10 mins and I feelwith my other medical problems my asthma takes 2nd place.Dont reply and tell me the same again
