Weening off ? Fostair

[Donkster]

Hi folks

I’m being weened off of fostair 200 they put me down to fostair 100 but my trouble is now I seem to be getting the sensation of my neck and throat being weird it’s like I’m aware of my neck being fatter feels fatter? Dry mouth as well.

Has anyone come off without troubles or strange feelings weird because I was ok for two years just dry mouth now and again

When my asthma nurse introduced me to Fostair I had to check my blood pressure for some time as it can change, increasing or decreasing, but it depends on the patient.

If you're concerned about your side effects you could talk to your pharmacist. If they think you need to see your doctor then they will advise you to make an appointment. Side effects are not unusual but I find that pharmacists are more aware of them and which ones to act on.

I've lost count of the number of times when a GP would disregard side effects but if your pharmacist has advised seeing a doctor, & the doctor knows this, then they will more likely pay attention.

All the best.
