the clinical pharmacist I saw today has put me in the same inhaler as my mum

When I was talking to the clinical pharmacist she asked me how I was doing with controlling my asthma and I told her that I have only ever had to use my blue inhaler whenever I have to go out as the road that runs past the turning where we live has a railway line that runs underneath it, so when I'm walking up the bridge I start to get out of breath and sometimes I need to use my blue inhaler.

I also told her that I've not had my brown preventer inhaler since around April as we moved house between the end of April and may, so she said that she is going to put me on a red inhaler instead which is a 2in1 inhaler as its a preventer as well as a reliever inhaler.

I have to use it once in a morning and once at night every day. She said that she was going to send me a personalised asthma action plan in the post.

she also said that she's going to send a message to the doctor asking them to send a prescription to my local Boots pharmacy for me

That all sounds very positive @BrianMcFaddenFan82! Sounds like they're looking after you well 😊

Hopefully the new inhaler will help you feel less breathless when you're out and about.

I picked up my new inhaler earlier today when I was in town with my mum and her lil pomchi cross chihuahua.
