Hi everyone! Just want to let you know I am now on my second Revlar inhaler and it is working brilliantly for me. I have had no side effects from it so far. I feel good. My peak flow has even improved a little which is just great. My walking has also improved and if I can gear myself to walk every day I am sure my peak flow will continue to improve.
I hope the Revlar works as good for the people who are on it as it works for me and for people who are not on it - well maybe they should try it.😍😍

Hi Matman I was in Qvar and Foradil for 20 years also Atrovent.
I don't know how much it cos on the BUS but it cost €48 here so probably around £35.00.
It is so worth it though.
It actually took one month for me to feel the benefits because you only take it once a day whereas before i took my inhalers every 12 hours (sometimes more) and Atrovent also but now the once a day works and sometimes I need to take one or two puffs per day of Atrovent whereas before I could take 2 puffs three times per day.
My peak flow has been 100/130 for years so you can imagine my delight when it read 150. So for me hopefully onwards and upwards.
Morning Matman- relvar is once a day FLuticasone furoate ( what is in Avamys nasal spray) with a LABA- comes in two doses- some asthmatics respond very well to it. Fluticasone furoate is very potent ( high affinity to receptors) - full dose 184mcg is roughly equivalent to 2000mcg clenil or 800mcg of the steroid in fostair. The once a day dosing is appealing to some . Personally I tried it and exacerbated so went back to fostair but have heard of many good experiences with relvar and do wonder if I used this after a course of prednisolone whether i May have found it more successful.
