You'd have to talk to your GP. I was on Seretide which caused problems and did no good, but I'm fine on Fostair, but mine is only 1 example. If you get no satisfaction ask to see a consultant.
I was changed to fostairnexthaler 100/6 after my seretide not helping a lot. The particles in fostair are smaller and go deeper into the lung according to the respiratory doctor I saw. I have been fine since taking fostair. I would say you need to speak with your consultant or doctor x
HI Truckerclark,
I used to be on Seretide and started on 125 of Seretide and when it wasn't as effective my Asthma nurse increased it to 250 Seretide. You can have up to 2 puffs twice a day but I initially found 1 puff twice a day did the job.
Hope this is helpful..Good
Hi Truckerclark
In the end I didn't go on to Seretide. I'm now on an Invesco 80 ciclesonide inhaler. This contains only a low dose steroid, to reduce inflammation in the lung. It isn't one of the combined steroid/bronchodilator inhalers, which I couldn't tolerate. If you're having problems with a combined inhaler I would ask about a steroid-only inhaler.
Best wishes
