They keep fostair in the fridge at the pharmacy because something in it (maybe the formoterol) doesn't like being warm and starts to slowly break down making it useless after a period of time (I thought it was 5 months but it could be 2)

My Fostair says 5 Months. Used as prescribed I have no trouble using it in that time

I think it's 2 months after opening it.

I’ve been taking this for 4 years and wasn’t aware you could only use it for 2 months, as pharmacist only ever advised to keep in fridge until it’s opened and used. I’m struggling with my breathing and wonder if this could be a contributory factor.
