understanding the name of medications in Britain compared with US?

All of your meds sound the same as here. I started uniphyl a week ago and it is magic for me. I can breathe like I never had asthma. I can walk long distances now and do stairs without wheezing at all. It feels like heaven. I almost forgot how it felt to breathe and not even notice I am breathing. I have to get a blood test Monday to see how much of the uniphyl is in my blood. I also use combivent, advair, duo neb, singular, xopenex(just changed from albuterol) and fluticasone spray. I have a nebulizer also. No medicine did for me what the uniphyl has and I am wondering if I need all the others when this new one works so well. I see the pulmonologist in February and will ask. I don't know if uniphyl will work for everyone like it does for me but I love it and have no side effects at all. Hope this helps you:)

thanks very much, that was definately helpful :D
