I'm on Fostair and mine is a combination inhaler.
The pink is a combination inhaler. It contains the brown one as the steroid part (beclometasone) plus a long acting bronchodilator (laba) formoterol. Salbutamol only lasts 4-6 hours (saba) - where as the laba's last 12 hours
So which inhaler is best the pink or the blue? I was given the pink an told two puffs morning An night An brush teeth after use as it deposits chemicals in your mouth
