symbicort

[lindmat]

could anyone tell me if they have had a side effect from symbicort. I have been on it about a week and today I have started to have a burning and tenderness in the skin of my cheeks I think made worse by wearing glasses

That sounds like a fairly unusual side effect. Maybe you have a touch of exzema which is closely related to asthma? But if you've just started taking it & got that problem straight away then I'd get an appointment fairly quickly to see if it's a known side effect.
