There are a number of long acting inhalers. This year I had Fostair for six months and it made me really unwell, before that I had Clenil which I had an adverse reaction to. Currently I’m on Seretide and Spiriva Respimat. I think your doctor has to prescribe you something though so speak with him/her about it. I hope you find something that helps you.

Hi Astmaticguy! What About Ventide, Which is Ventolin & Becotide Combined, Which Offers Instant Relief & Long Term Relief All in One Go! The Becotide Opens Up Your Airways, Helping The Ventolins Instant Relief To Work Even Better & More Effectively! My Mum’s Used This Before & Finds it Amazing! Hope This Helps!!!

I too have had bad reactions to sybicort and fostair the only one that suits me is seitide think aot of the time sybicort is prescribed as it is cheaper

thank you for the suggestions, I had an appointment to day with the asthma nurse, and she said the medication she can't prescribe because its black listed, meaning it's too expensive i think for them to have in stock.

I will keep trying though, as it's not good to send me back home with out any medication.
