DS1 has a new aerochamber, moved from one with mask to one without. Was given 1 but he has 3 asthma bags, one at school, one at childminders and one at home.

Didn't want to ask for 3, so can you buy them?

Thanks

Yes you can but they are expensive - just ask our doctor for a repeat prescription.

Ask for 3.

DS has 3 volumatic spacers and two aerochamber spacers each with an inahler with it so we can always get to it

Wasn't sure if it was cheeky to get 3. Will pop a note in.

IMO not cheeky at all - just explain that you have to LEAVE a set with school and childminder.

Lol just re-read my previous post. As I'm sure OUR doctor outs be happy to supply I think it's probably better you approach YOUR doctor! Oh the joys of iPads and predictive texts !!!!

We have 4 aerochambers (1 for home, 2 for school - medical room and classroom and 1 for after-school club run separate from school). Dr had no problem writing prescription for them. They cost about £10 each off prescription as I did ask in Boots once.
