Forgot to take Seretide this morning - will it be ok?

Hi everyone. This morning I forgot to take my Seretide inhaler (125, 2 puffs) before I went to work. Do you think this is a problem? I will resume again tonight, but I'm freaking out a bit, though I feel fine.

Hi

No worries you should be fine, just remember to take it tonight! Also try to make sure you have access to your ventolin just in case you start to have issues, but realistically missing one dose in well controlled asthma is unlikely to cause an problem!

Have a good day a work 😉

Emma's advice is spot on - it's a long-acting drug that builds up protection over time, so whilst not something you'd want to do too often, missing the odd dose now & again shouldn't really cause any problems.

I was on Seretide for quite a lot of years & would from time to time forget.
