Experiences with

Ventolin

I am concerned because the doctor over there prescribed him 1 month's worth of [i]Ventolin[/i] tablets and 1 month's worth of [i]Septerin[/i], which I understand is an antibiotic.

Cons doesn't approve of Ventolin so if I can't have Atro as well as Spiriva not sure what I'd do (Bricanyl maybe?) -Anything else I could ask about?

My current meds are; symbicort 400, atrovent inhaler, tiotropium, loratadine, montelukast, nasonex, and ventolin nebules 5mg 4x a day, plus more when I'm bad. On top of that I've now got epi pens too. When is this going to get better? I know it won't but it's just ruining my life.

I was in danger of being admitted every time this happens (already spent 8 nights in Glenfield) so the GP gave me ventolin and atrovent nebs to use at home. She said this was mostly for emergencies.

Should I take neb or contend with Ventolin and spacer? Should I make a point of saying to the agency?

Hello all I'm new here but not to asthma, I have had asthma for about 6 years i am on seretide and ventolin when needed, but have recently hot a Job on a holiday park, since moving out of home I have found tht I am more out of breath especially after doing a full set of party dances sometimes to the

I find that my lungs are not too bad when I'm running as long as I use Ventolin prior to going out, but go into shock as soon as I finish. I then take at least 48 hours to stop wheezing. Do anyone else's lungs react this way and will it improve with increased fitness?

Nurse had told me to take puff of Ventolin couple of hours before test but other Nurse said not to so I didn't. After the first round of blowing............ Nurse gace me 4 puffs of Ventolin, wait 20 minutes then blow again. Nurse last time gave me Ventolin in nebuliser.

I had to be put on a higher dosage of both my preventer and reliever in the winter because I was becoming progressively worse with the cold air. I've been to the nurse a few times with concerns of using the Accuhaler but nothing was done and she barely helped me in anyway, I don't know how to use it

I have checked out various sites online but there is nothing like recommendations. I have a portable nebuliser that works on a large rechargable battery or car ciggy lighter, but its past its sell by date, and its big and heavy, and I would like a small light handbag size one to allow me to go out and

Am in shock because don't even use Ventolin on a regular basis and when I get out of breath I just stop and wait for it to get better before carrying on etc. My FEV levels are 49%. Also, I don't feel 100% at the moment (no outward signs of illness, but feel under the weather).

swollen ankles.....panic attacks when walking, especially when walking in company....weight gain....anxiety I use a ventolin inhaler and have been using a seretide inhaler for a month. best wishes to all and i hope you're having a good day x

Hey, I've had asthma since 2007 aged 23, apart from winter and colds, flus etc I've had it under control using Clenil 50 2 puffs a day and Ventolin 100 when needed.

I was taking a cough bottle and antihistamines until Thursday when it got really bad that I ended up at the doctor's who gave me Ventolin and Qvar inhalers, a week's worth of prednisolone and a week's worth of antibiotics as my doctor thought there might be an underlying chest infection.

I keep a ventolin on me as I occasionally get wheezy but I'm talking about needing it ten times a year max, now I'm taking it several times a day. My lungs are very noisy too and my ribs have started to feel sore.. This has only been going on since starting the MTX. I'm not really coughing at all.

I do not use my ventolin hardly now and do not have the horrible "caved in" feeling in my ribs.The downside is though that I do have muscle and bone pain which is common but odd as that is what it is trying to treat.Has anyone else experienced this ???

Unfortunately I've hit a bit of a brick wall with my asthma :( I'm on Seretide, Ventolin, Uniphyllin, Certrizine, montelukast, pred (ment to be 10mg but can't get below 25mg these days) I've tried atrovent, tiotropium, symbicort, oral salbutamol (put me in a funny heart rhythm :/ ) and Xolair to no avail

severe or very severe emphysema, where Ventolin (or its generics) have very little impact or benefit on my laboured breathing. It hasn't worked for a long time and so I am reliant on my Spiriva and Symbicort.

I was on Seretide 250 and Ventolin. Had a bad spell (needed several nebulisers over the last few weeks), now got a haemophilus chest infection and the doctor has put me on prednisolone, changed my Seretide to Symbicort and gave two more weeks of antibiotics.

I'm on Spiriva and Ventolin inhalers. Am due to see Diabetic Nurse soon but just wondered if anyone else has experienced this? Thanks. Janet
