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 :)

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.

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? emoticon cute

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?

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.
