  • I sometimes use the salbutamol one before a ride but I find it very hard to tell whether or not it's doing anything

    If you can't tell whether it's doing anything, there's a very high probability that you're doing it wrong. I see an awful lot of really ineffective inhaler technique out there, and if that's you then you're probably getting no more than 10% of the intended dose to the relevant tissues. Talk to your GP or asthma nurse about technique, and consider using a spacer to avoid wasting your drugs.

    Your GP can prescribe spacers and basic mechanical PF meters, but if you want to go #tartmode you can buy digital meters so you can see pretty graphs on your PC or phone.

  • I think it's less my technique and more that the inhaler is 2 years old and a bit busted. Will get a new one.

    I am 100% in for graphs and data. Will buy.
