Changing from MDIs to DPIs for the environment
It concerns me when I read up the plans to change to dry powder inhalers (DPIs) that the patient's voice and experience seems not to be included in the discussion. I am all for being more environmentally friendly, but at what cost to at least some patients? 1. In 2019 I was swapped from Symbicort,

Anyone else had problems with Salamol CFC-Free MDI Inhaler 100mcg
I was given this in place of ventolin. From the start, it seemed like a ventolin inhalor when it's blocked (slow and sluggish to spray) two weeks in and hardly used it just stopped working at all. My doctors surgery have said ventolin is no longer available on the nhs and have now prescribed me airomir

Managing occasional breathlessness
I got rather breathless on my walk today as it was unexpectedly cold. It happens. Recently I was changed from Ventolin to Salamol. I am fine with that in principle, but I have had mixed results when using it. With Ventolin I know it starts to kick in after 10-15 minutes, but the first time I used Salamol

Dealing with nonallergic rhinitis (NAR)
For more than 50 years, I have suffered from "hay fever"-like symptoms that are, however, related to changes in weather/air pressure. So not just in spring, but throughout the year. Recently, I noticed that the symptoms are suddenly becoming more frequent. Normally, the attacks last 2 to 4 days. But

OTC Antihistamines
Have any of you had to take antihistamines? I’ve had head, nasal and chest congestion for a week. No temperature that I’m aware of. My pharmacist suggested Claritin or Allegra. I’m being very cautious and was just wondering?

Thybon Henning doesn’t contain acacia?!
Sharing for info but also a question around changes to formulation. I’ve recently had my T3 increased which meant moving to Thybon Henning 20s. Since I’m allergic to acacia, I set about trying to find out if it contained it. I spoke to 2 pharmacies (SmartWay and Roseseway Labs) as well as doing my

Ventolin or Salamol
I got a letter from the doctor's office this morning trying to persuade us to go on to Salamol since it has a much lower carbon footprint than Ventolin. I've got to reply within a fortnight or they will automatically switch me on to the Salamol. I've been happy with Ventolin but would be grateful

Inhaler shakes from Salamol?

Salamol doses how many hours minimum ?
My son is 4 and a half. Since March this year he has had 3-4 wheezy episodes that required AE attendence. He was all times given a reliever inhaler. He has not been diagnosed with asthma yet, but seems so much the case to me. He had eczema as a baby and many allergies. He grew out of the eczema and most

Tonsil Stones
Hi everyone. I've started coughing up tonsil stones again today. I used to get them years ago and they eventually went somehow. Either that or I've still had them and just not noticed. However I always feel like I've got bad breath only a few hours after brushing my teeth. I'm now thinking this is probably

Excessively dry nose with anti histamines
Hi hope you’re all feeling well. I have rhinitis and post nasal drip along with my asthma. I’ve tried to take anti histamines which do stop the runny nose, but my nose then gets too dry which is uncomfortable and I feel I can’t breathe as well as usual. Does anyone else have this? I’m taking cetirizine
