Hi i'am on an Easy breathe inhaler mixed with salbutamol and ventolin i'm on fostair inhaler which i use through a spacer and also on spiriva inhaler oh and i'm also on montelukast tablet for my asthma to...i find it easier using them through my spacer as i struggle taking in a deep breath and holding it but using the spacer you don't have to, i would recommend them to anyone and i would recommend using a spacer like me if you struggle

I take Qvar with my spacer every night. I also use Xopenex and was thinking about using my spacer with it. Does anyone use Xopenex and use their spacer with it? I need some good advise on using the spacer with Xopenex. I sometimes don't think I get it all when I don't use the spacer when I have a real bad asthma attack.

I take seretide twice a day, in the morning and in the evening, plus ventolin in case of attack, but it happens rarely now that Im on seretide. It's a preventive inhaler.

Is seretide a powder inhaler? Bc I don't do well with powder inhalers.

Hello,
My son , who is four, was recently put onto a Pulmicort turbohaler. I'm a bit worried about side effects. Has anyone used this or have children who have used it? 4 seems like such a young age to be put on medication, but his attacks have been very bad lately. Thank you.

Hi everyone,
How are you doing? Have you seen this older discussion?
What inhaler do you use for your asthma? Do you use more than one? Would you recommend it/them? Have you changed inhalers over the years?

Hi
I use fostair and ventolin- both with a spacer. Are used to be on a powder but I didn’t get on very well with it. I have an asthma review in a few days so hopefully everything is on track.

Hello everyone,
Which kind of inhaler do you use and would you recommend it to others? Have you ever had an inhaler that you would not recommend?
Using a spacer can make it easier to use your inhaler and they tend to get more medicine to your lungs. what is your experience with the spacer?
Please feel free to share your thoughts and advice on inhalers here :)
