Can I use my mother's asthma pump?

28 -year-old man3 years ago

I don't have any more flovent, I still have ventolin, my grandmother gave me an advair pump, I read on the internet that it seemed similar. Can it be a problem if I use that instead of flovent to treat bronchitis?

Hello, thank you for your question!

It is strongly not recommended to use this medication if it has not been prescribed to you

I suggest that you contact your pharmacy to evaluate the possibility of obtaining a new Flovent device.

Sincerely

Tom Samaha, Pharmacist
