What was wrong with Symbicort?

I ask because I have been on it for some 10 years and have no problems.

I am on 100/6 twice a day, BUT I do add 1 inhalation of Oxis 6 in the morning so effectively I am on 100/12 am

Hi - I was changed from Symbicort 400 to relvar ellipta 184. Mainly I like it, I only have to take it once a day, I don't shake nearly as much after I take it, it counts down the doses really clearly and my asthma (though still not well controlled ) is better than it was.

The downside (for me) is I can't step the inhaler up when my pf drops / i am unwell/time of the month... Which I did regularly with symbicort.

All in all I like it and would t want to swap back. Hope you get on with it ok xxx
