The type of inhaler doesn't really matter most drugs come in a lot of the formats (aersol, easibrathe, dry powder etc.) but what will probably change is the medication it contains. You can generally ask for it in whichever type of inhaler you prefer though there are some limitations because not all drugs are manufactured in all types. Your doctor will either up the dose or maybe add a long-acting reliever like atrovent or a differnt preventer all together - it varies from doctor to doctor.
Hope thats helps!

2 puffs morning and night is not a high dose - he could still increase it. He certainly won't give you a nebuliser, because these are a "last resort" for most asthmatics; there are loads of other things he'll try first. Most likely, other than increasing your dose of Clenil, is the addition of another preventer inhaler to take daily. |

He might not change your meds; he might just increase the amount of Clenil you take. There are a load of other things he could do, though, so don't worry about it - but let us know how you get on! |
