Brown Steroid Inhaler

4 Replies

Hey all,

On thursday I got prescribed a brown steroid inhaler which has not yet made a difference. Does anyone know if it is possible for the inhaler to not work for certain people? If so then if it dont work for me what alternative will i be put on?

Thanks all! :)

if you are on clenil it will take a minimum of 2 weeks to kick in, they are not quick fixes but when it does kick in you will notice a difference like i did

hope this helps

OK so give it a week or 2. Thanks!

in the meantime ... i was prescribed ventolin nebules but it depends how bad you are, i would speak to your gp if unsure and see whether he could give you an alternative until the steroid kicks in

Yep give it time - but even if it doesn't work there are plenty more options. Brown is just the beginning of all the delights out there ;) but with any luck it will kick in soon and you won't ever discover some of the more exotic options...
