I have been prescribed with brycnyl inhalers the blue and red ones. They contain alcohol in it. I can survive without it. However i do have breathing difficulty only to inhalers can cure. Do i carry on using the inhalers? I don't use it due to the doubt i have in my head. Every1 said your alowed to use such medication but im not so sure. Without using it sometimes i do become very ill however its not life threatenin. It just means that i have a really bad flu in comparison to what others normaly have.
