Reliever used for reversibility testing

0 Replies

Saw on the form today they want to do another reversibility test, using salbutamol again.

Is there any way of asking them to use something else, maybe Atrovent? I've been wondering if the reason my last reversibility test showed nothing was because they used salbutamol which I've never responded to very well.

If at all possible I would like to maximise my chances of this test showing something, if there is anything to show, rather than have it come out negative because of the reliever used.
