Hi

Been on Relvar for about a week

I'm on 184/22 dose. But side effects include feeling dizzy and weak and not sleeping. I take this for asthma. Has anyone else experienced similar side effects on this medication?

Thank you

After you inhale and hold, exhale through your mouth only. Donut at breakfast so you can immediately start drinking and eating. I find this clears most of the dust away from the throats and stops some of the discomfort.
