hi , has anyone been prescribed the blue reliever ventoli inhalers with the counter on ,like the Respimat inhalers , i ask as i sometimes think i’m throwing away my inhaler when there could be some left , if you do use these inhalers can you tell which to ask for on my repeat prescription, Hope everyone is keeping as well as possible and like me looking forward to spring ,

Hi Nanny 1086. You should shake your inhaler to feel if there is still some in it. As part of saving the planet I've been put on Easyhaler Salbutamol sulfate 100micrograms/dose dry powder inhaler, I was given it instead of the normal Ventolin as it doesn't use propellant gases. It's a powder form like my Trelegy Ellipta. I think you'll find that your surgery has to prescribe it for you.

Hi Nanny.

I have never had a normal inhaler because I was worried that the inhaler might be empty when I needed it. I use the ones you're describing instead. You should ask for the Ventolin Accuhaler. I always have peace of mind with them.

hi , isn’t the accuhaler the dry powder one ?

[kyia in reply to Nanny1086]

Yes the accuhaler is dry powder. Looking online, there is another called Ventolin HFA that has a dose counter. You might be able to ask for that.

I get my Abuterol from Mexico. 3 of them for about $5 bucks. Been using them for years. Cheap so you can have them every where you need them and if you toss one thats not quite done, o well. Only way to go, just need a friend that goes to Mexico........ Oh, they work just fine and my docs have no problem with them.
