Change of inhaler
Is 10 x double shots of
Ventolin
too much? It's only when I exert myself, not when I'm at rest. I must say that since the introduction of the powder I've hardly used the
Ventolin
, however, I've not exerted myself enough to warrant it's use and it hurts.

Ventolin plus Inhaled Meds Delivery System
A typical MDI Device (such as
Ventolin
Inhaler) often fails to properly deliver - or effectively distribute - Dosage.

Ventolin and reflux???
I should state I’m currently mid flare up with uncontrolled severe asthma so I’m using
ventolin
a lot (2-10 puffs every 2-4 hrs depending on activity) 😅 So does anyone else get this on salbutamol? Emma

Great peak flow but I can't breathe!
Long-term asthmatic (using daily Symbicort/
Ventolin
) mostly having flares with exercise, colds/chest infections/hay fever. I can become quite ill with a chest infection. Daily OK with peak flows of c 420-450.

Ventolin and emphysema
So I just read a bunch of posts about this and it seems that most feel that
ventolin
is basically useless for treating emphysema. Doe anyone think otherwise?

That was a surprise?!
Go grab my
ventolin
and do the 1 puff tidal breathing through my spacer waited then again after 30 secs. Making a difference possibly then more coughing more
ventolin
and finally it stops. Sitting here suprised where did that come from?

The steady drift down...
Time to whack up the pred (a whole extra 5mg 😂) and the
ventolin
to hopefully stay home but I’m not convinced it’ll last! Got my stethoscope out and had a listen to my chest because I felt wheezy when I got home and my god it did not sound brilliant - but at least the air is still moving ok!

Can a persistent cough be caused by steroids?
Next step was
Ventolin
which didn’t make a difference so allergy was ruled out. He gave me a cough suppressing medicine which worked beautifully but I couldn’t take it for more than two weeks.

In need of your expertise!
This year, I developed a serious case of breathlessness and was relying on
Ventolin
a lot. It would come on quite suddenly and leave me quite tired afterwards. The GP started me on Clenil (I’ve used this in the past) and referred me to my very lovely asthma nurse.

Ventolin question
I have emphysema/asthma and am on 3 inhalers, Spiriva Respimat, Symbicort and
Ventolin
. The
Ventolin
seems to help the most with my breathing (I think). What I'm wondering is how much and how often can I use it? My lung doc says 2 puffs every 4 hours as needed.

Early repeat prescriptions
For the past 30 plus years I have controlled my asthma with the use of
ventolin
inhalers, 2 puffs 4 times a day or when required. But now I’m being told by the asthma Nurse at my surgery that using my inhaler more than twice a week is excessive and my asthma is out of control.

What I wish I had asked my GP/asthma nurse (when first diagnosed 😉)
Can you still use
ventolin
? What’s the max dose? When should you seek help?

Asthma - top tips and advice!
Keep your
ventolin
to hand (or easily accessible)- if you’re severe try to keep in various bags or places around the house so you don’t have to struggle to get to it.

What I wish I had asked (when first diagnosed)
Is there a limit to how much
ventolin
I can use? - the answer is ‘no, not really’ but having a ‘limit’ given by the GP will stop you over medicating without seeking help.

Graduation Run Aborted at 17min due to F******** asthma
Took
ventolin
four times before running and still was wheezing. No park run until I have a good last 30min. Body willing but lungs failing. Gutted.

Another one with a conundrum
Though I am better at noticing when things are not quite right, it is not often except when either really unwell or reacting to exercise that it even occurs to me to take extra
ventolin
, so that rule of thumb is useless for me, has always been. How are we now supposed to know when to seek help?
