Out of date inhalers

1 Reply

Hi All,

I am new to the forums :)

I have pretty bad asthma I take three times a day of my normal routine and then I take my blue one when I need it. Recently due to the very hot weather and pollen levels it has got extremely bad.

I take the blue and brown inhalers

I have to pay my inhalers and recently I have found old brown inhalers that are not in date. The main question is can I still use them and I'll be okay?

Hi Cjn,

Welcome to the forum.

In answer to your questions, I never use out of date inhalers, and would not recommend anyone doing so.

As far as paying for them is concerned, do you have a pre payment certificate? If not, I would recommend you look at whether it is worth getting one.
