Experiences with

Salamol

Particularly keen to understand if the Dr's quote [i]"Salamol puffers are normally ordered 3 or 4 times a year max" [/i]is accurate. Thanks

a lot of walking I think the doctors is unreasonable I only have one what can I do if my salamol doesn't work

I've just got a new salamol inhaler and it's much smaller than usual, about half the size I expect. It says it's got 200 doses in it and the dosage looks right. Should I be concerned? I've been used to 1 size for decades.

First time, some 15 years ago, I was prescribed Salamol by GP, I didn't realise until I got it from the Chemist. I thought maybe it's a change that made by doctor on my condition as "Salamol" was written on prescription itself not "Salbutamol" as has been previously. So I started using it.

I have salamol, it aids with relieve from breathlessness but struggle to find any long term solutions. I wondered if anyone has a steroid inhaler that helps them with their symptoms.

(Have memories of Ventolin being changed to Salamol which never seemed as effective) Has anyone else been changed to Luforbec and how are you finding it?

Have just had dispensed a different salamol inhaler, which is a dry inhaler and has a dose counter on the side. The latter should be easier to monitor instead of having to weigh salamol inhaler. Hope it is as effective as well. Wishing you all a pleasant weekend. 🤗

I haven't actually had to have any salamol today for the first time in a while so steroids must be working but jeez.

Finally told me it's because salamol is cfc free and its, 'better for the environment '. Have insisted on Caroline but they haven't put it on repeat. So will have to go through the whole saga again this month.

Hi everyone, I’m sure I saw a post on here recently from someone who has been prescribed a new Salamol reliever inhaler a dry powder inhaler with a dosage counter, instead of the usual blue inhaler. I can’t find the post now but want to share the name with my asthma nurse. Anybody able to help?

Nothing too controversial, Bisoprolol, Atorvastin, Aspirin & GTN spray for Heart related alongside Salamol and Soprobec for Asthma. I'm told by my GP surgery the right hand side of the prescription, naming the meds etc should be sufficient for this purpose?

He also said the salamol inhaler wouldn't help much - it doesn't . Still a bit confused what having these abnormalities means. Realised I didn't ask him what this actually means but he never stopped talking for the whole appointment and it wasn't easy to keep up. Thanks for listening.

I don't use oxygen, only Trimbow and Salamol inhalers; and if I have an exacerbation I have a rescue pack in hand (Doxycycline and Prednisolone) and a nebulizer.

I'm so scared, Salamol didn't work at all for me and actually seemed to cause asthma attacks. The asthma nurse told me I could no longer get Ventolin and would have to take this new one which has both reliever and preventative together. I don't understand how this is better.

I am currently using Anora Ellipta 55/22 mcg inhaler once a day and a Salamol inhaler as and when required. Having spent so long asymptomatic, this is all new to me, I do understand that my condition is progressive but I am a bit concerned about the rapidity of decline in my condition.

From 1 ventolin lasting upto 2 years I got through almost 3 salamol in a year!!

While I was in hospital my inhaler was changed by a hospital asthma nurse from fostair 200/6 2 puffs twice a day (with salamol as my reliever ) to fostair 100/6 2 puffs twice a day which was to be now my combination inhaler and smart regime.

Its a Salamol Easy Breath. I told her I had used it but didn't think it was doing much to help. She said she would get an Asthma Nurse to contact me. Following this I was sent an appointment with a COPD Nurse. I presumed that was just the same thing & attended the appointment.

Hello there, I came across an interestsing journal article recently that may help people using salamol inhalers.

I previously used Seretide (and salamol reliever) in the past I've never had a combination inhaler before, just wondering if people here reccomend them?
