I take 3 puffs seretide (250) twice daily and have cramps in my feet and legs especially at night. Someone has told me that it's because of the seretide. Is this true?

Got bad cramps also with my meds and worse now one steroids.they keep me awake also and taking paracetamol along with my tramadol to help cramps.Love glynis X

ah i've been getting leg cramps too, not the really bad ones that have you in tears, i seem to be able to catch it and pull my toes up to stop it, but have it a couple of times a night, never thought it'd be down to the seretide.

Hi Mardi,

I was always getting cramps in my feet, it was terrible, but never associated it with my seretide.

Makes me wonder though,as I havent had any in a while, still on seretide.

Is it because of all the other meds I've had to take lately?

Have had antibiotics, steroids, and nebs?
