Asthma and medication

Been told I possibly have exercise induced asthma and another trigger is areosol sprays. (deodorant, etc)

Mum and sister have asthma too and have been told they can't take certain medication. Is this true for every single person with asthma?

    If you've got it bad then no, you're not allowed to take certain medication.

    Not every single person but it is quite common. You are best seeking advice from your GP about medications :)

    Hey Melian,

    It can really vary from person to person, because I have a friend whose asthmatic and some meds (Mostly Allergy ones) Have caused a lot of disruption to her asthma. Best thing to do is if you are worried about as BlondieLiz says, it might be worth consulting your doctor, and going over worries that many ease you a bit!

    However, good luck,

    Best wishes,
    Angel

    Best to see your GP or your surgery's asthma nurse to talk it through.

    some medicines can exacerbate asthma but it varies from person to person.
