Symbicort

HAS ANYONE INTRODUCED SYMBICORT TO A PATIENT DUE TO PO0R COMPLIANCE/ I HAVE A PATIENT WHO REFUSES TO ACCEPT HE HAS ASTHMA/ AND USES A B2 AGONIST DAILY/ I DID A REVERSIBILITY TEST AND HIS ECTOPIC HISTORY SHOWS A MOST DEFINATE DIAGNOSIS OF ASTHMA/ HOWEVER AFTER REFUSING INHALED STERIODS (AFTER HAVING THEM PRESCRIBED AT HIS LAST PRACTICE) HE AGREED TO A TRIAL OF SYMBICORT 200/6 FOR TWO WEEKS. ( he is well aware this inhaler contains steriods!!!)HE HAS NEVER SEEN AN ASTHMA NURSE AND DUE TO HIS POOR CONTROL HAS PROB DEVELOPED REDUCED LUNG FUNCTION. HIS PREVIOUS GP WAS GIVING HIM REG INJECTIONS OF KENALOG/WOULD LIKE COMMENTS OR REASSURANCE
