If you use a salbutamol inhaler (blue inhaler) you may be able to receive a repeat inhaler online. The service won’t replace your regular asthma check-ups or visits to the doctor’s surgery, but it can make the process of obtaining your inhaler much easier.
Dr Fox doesnot provide additional asthma medicines or steroid inhalers but you can save time and money by ordering your salbutamol inhaler here on our website. This also helps ensure you are never left without your inhaler when you need it.
Here is how the process works: If you use a salbutamol inhaler (also known as a reliever) you can carry out an online consultation with one of our doctors, in which you will be asked about the type of inhaler you use, whether you have had an asthma or breathing clinic check-up within the last year and other important medical questions.

Viagra and other ED medicines are not always guaranteed to work
As with any medication, Viagra and other erectile dysfunction medications aren’t guaranteed to work for everyone.
Your doctor should explain carefully how to use them, and what to expect, but even under the best of circumstances you may find that you need a number of attempts, or possibly an adjusted dose or different type of medication in order to see results.
If you aren’t able to achieve an erection soon after you start treatment, don’t despair. Check to ensure you are taking the medication exactly as directed according to the patient information leaflet supplied with the tablets, and be sure to let your doctor know what happens (or doesn’t happen) when you do. Always consult a doctor if treatment doesn’t work. Studies show an improved response rate after receiving appropriate dose and instructions on administration. You may require further tests and assessment, and possibly alternative treatments.
What is the ‘success rate’ of sildenafil (Viagra)?
From clinical trials the following percentages of men responded to the three different doses of sildenafil as follows:
Proportions of patients reporting improved erections in clinical trials of sildenafil
Sildenafil
25mg dose
62% reported improved erections
Sildenafil
50mg dose
74% reported improved erections
Sildenafil
100mg dose
82% reported improved erections
The results show sildenafil (Viagra, Viagra Connect) is not effective for all men, but the reasons can be complex and varied. Read on to learn a few different things you can try in order to help your medication have the desired effect. These points will help you develop a realistic expectation for your treatment.
Adopt the right mindset
Before all else, try to keep in mind that no erectile dysfunction medicine is a miracle cure. The PDE5 inhibitors (sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil, and avanafil) work by facilitating blood flow to the penis, but they all require sexual arousal. Your body sends the necessary chemicals to the blood vessels of the penis, the medication helps the blood flow, and also block the PDE5 enzymes that eliminate the chemicals, and this helps you get and maintain an erection.
Without proper sexual arousal the medication will simply not take effect. Try to make sure you are receiving stimulation that works for you; whether it’s visual or from touch, scent or taste, you need to feel naturally turned on.
Distractions, interruptions, and low temperatures can stop the production of the chemicals responsible for erections.
Patient expectations
Psychological factors can make a big difference with regard to treatment and outcome, and should not be underestimated (the placebo effect is a good example). Brand, size, shape, and colour of a pill can all have a psychological impact on a patient’s confidence in the treatment. There is also documented evidence that a higher dosage can have a positive psychological effect, however side effects are more likely. Studies also suggest men’s mood improves after taking sildenafil. Read in full
When the original patent (the exclusive right granted by governments to an inventor to manufacture and sell their invention) of a medicine runs out it becomes legal for ‘copies’ of the original active ingredient to be produced and marketed. These copies, which are medically identical to original medicines, are called generics or generic medicines. Generic medicines contain the same active ingredient and are medically identical to the original, but usually cost less. According to the BGMA generic medicine saves the NHS more than £10bn annually.

Effective hair loss tablets now available from 35p per day.
Finasteride 1mg is used to help prevent and restore male hereditary hair loss. In clinical trials, hair growth usually starts to improve after three months of taking finasteride 1mg tablets. Two thirds of men will benefit from renewed hair growth. Maximum benefit is seen after two years.

If you have it, you know how it makes you feel. Facial hair in women can be the source of shame, embarrassment and anxiety. A few stray hairs on your lip or chin are easy enough to pluck or wax, but if you have an excessive amount you may be looking for a more powerful solution.
Unwanted facial hair (also known as UFH or by its medical term, Hirsutism) can be caused by a number of factors. It may be due to hormonal imbalances such as those caused by polycystic ovarian syndrome, a medication you are taking, or just your genetics. Whatever the reason, if it’s there we want it to just go away.
Among the range of hair removal treatments available you will find Vaniqa; a cream that uses the active ingredient eflornithine to reduce the growth of facial hair in women. Read on to learn more about whether Vaniqa can help, how it works and how it should be used. Read in full
Diarrhoea is commonly caused by a bowel infection due to a virus, bacteria or parasite. Increased exposure to gastroenteritis-causing factors is why diarrhoea is so common amongst travellers; in fact up to five million Brits suffer from it every year.
It normally begins during the first week after arriving in a new place; trying new foods exposes us to new bacteria that our bodies are not used to. It also puts us at risk of dangerous bacteria such as salmonella and E. Coli, as well as parasites like Giardia and viruses like the norovirus. All of these are transmitted through hand to mouth contact, and eating or drinking contaminated food or water. Diarrhoea can also be caused by eating different foods with higher levels of spice or oil than our normal diet.
If all this has put you off eating or drinking anything in a new country (or even travelling at all!), try to keep in mind that there are things you can do to decrease the severity and length of a diarrhoea episode abroad. Read in full
