So I've been taking duoresp for a week now, 4 puffs twice a day. I have only needed to take my ventolin twice in a week,which for me is incredible, no bad side effects yet, my chest did hurt on the third day but it passed. Mornings are the worst time for me, I would normally be coughing and very tight chested and need 6 puffs on the ventolin and a cup of tea before being able to function but not this week. It is actually freaking me out a bit because I didn't expect any improvement for good few weeks, I'm thinking maybe it was the seretide making me bad?? One thing I have noticed is it works best if I take it 12 hours apart, 6am and 6pm. I know I'm late taking it because my chest will get tight.

I am so pleased that your health has improved for you.
Great news. Means it is working well as a preventer to stop your symptoms getting worse. It will also help you reduce your need for Ventolin, which is good, because too much Be Tomlin can affect your heart.
Hi
Keep in mind that that one of the constituent Meds in the Duoresp is a Long Acting Beta Agonist. As you probably know, Ventolin is a Short Acting Beta Agonist - so effectively you're now taking a longer lasting Beta Agonist rather than ditching Beta Agonists altogether.
I swappedfrom seretide to duoresp and also had a vast improvement hardly used ventolin now take care xx
