Experiences with

Salbutamol

And has anyone else had their blood glucose monitored while using a lot of salbutamol - for example when on nebs? Did you get high levels?

The Doctor referred us to the Asthma nurse and she prescribed Qvar 100, two puffs twice a day, plus Salbutamol when required. The inhaler worked immediatly, no coughing from the second day of use, so brilliant.

Was not told when to use them or how many . just after bit of info how others use saline nebs along with salbutamol 5mg nebs just a guide out of interest till start mine soon.thanks glynis x

I discussed how I had to use my salbutamol after being outside, but it sorted it out!! Nurse then spoke about how I need to AVOID pollen and that my work (I'm a primary teacher!) should put measures in place to stop this!!

Secondly, I have an awful GP who doesn't listen to anything i've ever said, hasn't written me an 'asthma action plan' and only prescribes me with two salbutamol inhalers per month! (I normally use at least three.) I'm currently on seretide, but I'm just sick of having constant asthma attacks.

Yesterday I had a bad(ish) day, but the good old salbutamol was sticking :-) today though really SOB, tight chest, abusing the salbutamol to the point I've got the shakes and heart racing. 10 puffs through a spacer doing nothing!!

The inhaler improves my breathing but sometimes I feel like it might be damaging my heart. I always ask myself why the medication to open my air ways affects my heart?!

I was already on symbicort and salbutamol beforehand which worked pretty well. Had 2 clear ct scans so not bronch, which is a relief. I go through phases of taking more meds but it just doesn't seem to go, and sometimes is pretty bad, coughing up lots of blobs.

I was diagnosed with copd in December I was put on spiriva once a day and salbutamol as required up to 8 puffs per day .

Hi i use my inhaler a lot sometimes only lasts a week is that normal or i panic when i can`t breath peeling potatoes out of breath.

I visited my surgery last week and saw one of the nurses - the appointment was to have a spirometry test. Because of a course of antibiotics I had had I was told that I would have to wait 4-6 weeks after the end of the course of antibiotics before having the test. Anyway, she chatted to me and

I've had chest discomfort (indigestion type discomfort) when using Ventolin, the metered dose Evohaler type. I saw the nurse today and she said I could be changed onto something else but suggests I try the dry powder Ventolin Accuhaler first to see if I get the same discomfort with that, probably trying

What alternative inhalers - reliever type - are there instead of Ventolin? I've found that Ventolin gives me discomfort in the chest (indigestion type pain). My nurse suggested Spiriva and my GP changed my prescription. I was told to use Spiriva once a day and Ventolin as a reliever if necessary

Does anyone know if it is okay to use salbutamol nebs when on the Symbicort smart plan? Many thanks!

I used my salbutamol twice, sat down for a bit and then when things calmed down a bit I carried on. The same thing happened again, just walking around my room (which is a tiny box) really seemed to get to me.

blue reliever inhaler for when necessary, which has usually been when its cold, when I'm ill or during hayfever times - most of the year then :-/ Anyway since September I have had constant chest infections, which have brought on really bad asthma attacks, which have seen me hospitalised on Oxygen, Salbutamol

Today is the 13th day since starting Spiriva, which seems to suit me better than Ventolin (salbutamol), but I do seem to be having a problem with flatulence since a few days after starting it.

I wonder if anybody can help me.I have been asthmatic all my life although it has been mild,only ever needing my salbutamol inhaler about once or twice a week,usually after exercise.Back in november 2012 I developed a respiritory tract infection which left me with a constant tickly cough with constant

Salbutamol nebs 3x a day Alendronic acid and AdcalD3 to protect my bones from steroids. The side effects are driving me nuts and I still can't breathe!!!
