Salamol CFC inhaler?

[axiom]

Hi! My name is Nikolay and this is my first post. I have suffered asthma pretty badly since birth, especially more into my adult life. And in the last couple of months I have had problems with Salamol CFC inhaler, which has made me have to use my inhaler excessively. My peak flow is low 175 the best; Oxygen levels very 85 to 90.

Ventolin as more effect so I will request it from my GP. Living in London effects conceded, my records show a three year increase in my asthma and a decrease in my lungs.

My I ask if anyone has problems with Salamol CFC inhaler?

Keep well and safe

Don't know about Salamol but if your blood oxygen levels are below 90 you should get immediate medical attention. (I'm assuming you are getting the Reading from a Finger Pulse Oximeter). If you don't want to visit casualty, then consind ringing 111 and telling them what your readings are. Also, your quoted Peak Flow seems extremely low. Get some help and don't delay. I'm no Doctor, but a high daily dose of a Long Acting Beta Agonist might be helpful (or does Salamol Inhaler include a LABA)?

Hi Axiom, Nicolas, I know your post is 2 year ago but just joined and saw your post. I was given the smaller salamol CFC evohaler instead of my usual ventolin inhaler, the pharmacist refused to change it stating they were the same thing. I was rushed to hospital 2 days later and there for 3 days, because it didn't have the same effectiveness of my usual ventolin. I was told by consultant in hospital that the smaller salamol was cheaper for the pharmacy than the ventolin inhaler. 😡
