Hello

I am currently taking 2 puffs twice a day through a spacer, my hands start trembling within 2 mins and this is noticeable for at least a couple of hours. Does anyone else experience this and does it get better?

Thanks

Hi, When I started taking fostair for the first time my hands trembled for abit. Now im used to it im ok. Takes 2 weeks to work properly if you still having trouble after that let your doctor or nurse know. I been on Fostair since February and I think its great hopefully you find it is too. Good luck.

Thank you. This is helpful. I find the side effects really unpleasant - shaking and a kind of nervous tension. Lasts until lunchtime. Good to know that this will go away.

I'm experiencing the same trembling in my hands and an anxious feeling in my stomach. Been on Fostair since October .Good to know it will ease off soon I hope.

I had it too but was new to asthma so didn’t really realise it was the inhaler! I’ve been on it about 8 months now and seems to be suiting me much better. Hope it helps and the side affects reduce x

I started taking Fostair too this year and had the same thing with the tremors for a few weeks, now completely better. I'm just having my first cold of the year and I've got to say, it's helping me manage better than before when I was on clenil modulite.
