Thankyou . My wife is a brown inhaler user and it is worrying me

 

[Sophie B]

I have asthma, I use both a brown and blue inhaler. Mine isn’t too bad and can usually be kept under control easily. If I feel short of breaths usually a couple deep breaths does it for me, on the off chance I don’t have an inhaler on me

Thank I use a Lilac seretide inhaler daily and a blue salbutamol sone occasionally, but my asthma is not severe

Thank you @Wiebke I've been looking for this information. Asthma uk's advice has been out of date (only about a week, but a lot's happened in those days).

It scared me to death, because my medication is on there, as indicating the need for full shielding, but I take a lower dose. Phew!

However, it brought it home to me that I need to be very, very careful.

Thank you for this. Myself and two of the children have asthma. My son uses the brown (as and when I see he needs it) but the worry is their asthma (the kids) flares up when they have a cold/cough. They’re isolating due to the closing of schools anyway.
