Help with Inhaler use identification

Hi, I've had a good look online but cannot find much other than scientific medical papers (which aren't much help), but I'd like to know specifically whats in my inhalers, what they are for, and which overlap with each other.

They are: Flutiform, Symbicort, Tiotropium (Sprivia respimat), Striverdi respimat.

Thanks!

Your pharmacist would be extremely knowledgeable in this area. Would be worth booking an appointment to discuss with them.

The patient information sheet that comes with each item will tell you what the inhalers contain and what they are for. Bevvy's suggestion of asking your pharmacist is a good idea too.

Look on the British National Formulary (bnf.nice.org.uk) - it will tell you what is in each of the products.

Sorry, I can't comment. I'd stopped taking symbicort long time ago.
