Glad you got sorted in the end!

Thanks DavyR, there will be another little surprise later this week

Just tried it out, it even has a built in alarm so if you suck too hard/quickly it tells you

Not such good news as I expected :mad:

I asked for Ventolin by name but ended up with a product called SALBUTAMOL

I tried one shot and that made no difference so next day tried 2 shots and very little difference :mad:

According to the instructions 2 shots at a time is the max and a total of 8 shots a day.

Specialist on Tuesday so have to get it sorted, being house bound is not for me

Started on the Morphine again to see if that helps.

Getting fed up with this now :rolleyes:

Alan

I think you might find that Ventolin is a trade

name and the actual drug name is Salbutamol.

GlaxoSmithKline under the trade name Ventolin.

have you tried using it in a nebuliser ,where the drug is dispersed through steam that you breathe in via a small face mask or a mouth piece.

very best wishes
