You should always use a spacer when using an MDI, otherwise you are losing most of the medication as it impacts the mouth and tongue.

you can try nebulizer instead of inhaler, it may make you feel good.

[@Debbiebabe69]

Those that claim Salamol is just as good as Ventolin are almost always academics and doctors, as opposed to actual asthmatics. The reason is academics and doctors only consider the active ingredient, and yes it is true both contain the same active ingredient, normally 100ug of salbutamol per puff. However academics and doctors do not consider the other ingredients (apart from allergy avoidance), and in the case of asthma inhalers the main other ingredient is the propellant. Ventolin is much stronger, able to fire the salbutamol deep into the airways. Salamol is much slower and lethargic, and without sucking in the drug barely reaches the tonsils. This is fine in preventive applications, where the user can deeply inhale and suck the drug into his or her lungs freely. However in an actual asthma attack, you are reliant on the *propellant* to get the drug where it is needed, and that is why you often see people wolfing down 30-40 bats of Salamol when they are struggling to breathe, but one or two of Ventolin does the same job. Unaided, Ventolin delivers 100ug of salbutamol to the lungs. Salamol delivers 100ug of salbutamol to the tonsils. Thats the difference. Explain this to your GP, and once he knows you know more about inhalers than he does, he will write 'Ventolin brand only, do not dispense generic' on your prescription and you will recieve the superior Ventolin.

[@alexyang6484]

Do you hold the button of the inhaler as you breath in or do you press the button once then breath in?

[@superskiier50]

Alex Yang it doesn't matter, it always puts out the same amount

[@tmeme1836]

Hold it down as long as you are breathing in.

[@melissapena3421]

i tried an inhaler like 2 minutes ago before watching this video and the spray hit my tongue and im pretty sure i did it wrong im so mad cause i cant take another dose

[@nofty_]

Melissa Pena Same. I don't get it.

[@poopgle]

even if you did it properly a good portion may still hit your tongue, so one can never say if you failed. after emptying your lungs, if you're able to take a long breath, try to start breathing in first while pressing the inhaler, that way the puff is release while you're breathing in. also you need to be in this upright position so your head is at the right angle. the wait is not absolute. the prescription says you should wait for several hours because they don't want you to have side effects. but in case you really have trouble breathing, breathing is more important than side effects.

[@karenknighton2947]

I just did the same thing so decided to utube it. Looks like I am not breathing while pushing button. I'll keep trying later tonight.

[@existentialcrisisaverted3733]

Melissa Pena same here

[@tmeme1836]

Why can't you? I have the most trouble breathing at night & sometimes take up to 10+ puffs in the middle of the night. Not reccommended, sure. But nothing worse than trying to rest & you can hear yourself wheezing. If you are taking it wrong, you will most definitely taste it!😝

[@tinajaneoxnam.3933]

Right so I got told to use the red one twice in the morning & evening. The blue once in the afternoon. I got told to hold my breath for 3 seconds then breath out again on all 3 of them. So because the doctors told me to use it twice & 2 puffs a time then it's goinna run out by the following month then ain't it? I'm not fick I know I was told. The boots pharmacy told me it should last for 2 months .well it doesn't if people have been told to puff it twice in the morning & twice in the evening.
