powerbreathe lung exerciser on prescription

11 Replies

I just had a powerbreathe medic lung exerciser prescribed. You can read about it here

powerbreathe.com/powerbreat... GP didn't mind, said they only cost £18 to the nhs, so if anyone thinks it would help, ask for it, and spread the word.

That sounds great, lloegr, if it was passed in 2006, you would think the GP would give them out on diagnosis wouldn't you? They don't tell us nothings do they?

I bought one years ago, forgot all about it, will fish it out and start using it again. Chris

theres different types, the nhs one is only availabale on prescription, n I expect tis different strength for weaker breathers, so if yours is too hard still ask for one. Carole
