I don't remember. But it's not controlled very well on 2 puffs day and night so increased too 3 puffs feel much better but heart palpating and feel hot. So gone back to 2 puffs now feel bad.

There's flutiform and symbicort, both of which are combined inhalers like the fostair and seretide that you've had. I hope you find one that suits you.

I have

Qvar preventer inhaler

Salamol and ventolin reliever inhalers

and have never had any side effects with any of them

i have had side effect from ventolin but only when i use high amounts of it ! last time i did was 20 puff wating for a ambulance but the side effect was only for a sort time very shaky and heat rate wents up !

hope this helps mat :)
