Hi

I started on Fostair 100/6 last week and have noticed something today thats worrying me about using it further.

I haven't had a great appetite since using it (also down to some anxiety issues) and also my uvula has gotten longer too.

Has anyone else had the same issue?

When I started Fostair 100/6 I had headaches that I had to take painkillers for but they eased after about 10 days. My appetite increased.

It's important to rinse your mouth thoroughly after using inhalers. I gargle as well as I tend to get a sore throat if I don't.

We all react differently to medications, finding a way to ease any side effects are worth it if you find the benefits outweigh them. And some side effects wear off after a while.

I kept getting nosebleeds on this medication, so I had to change my inhaler.

Fostair is very safe. I suspect your anxiety about other things is at the root of your worries. Talk to someone close to you and be open to all possibilities.

I took Foster 200/6 for two months two puffs twice a day. My pulmonologist last month shifted me to Foster 100/6 one puff twice a day. The only discomfort that I feel is hoarseness of voice though I gargle each time I use the inhaler.No other issue

Not had any issues with it, but find the standard MDI version better than the powder version. I’d say it’s a good inhaler, though it might not suit everyone.

Not what you're looking for?
