Ive just been switched to luforbec but I haven't tried it yet.Ive had a viral infection the past few weeks and I'm worried about starting luforbec as I don't want it to make my asthma worse as I'm concerned about the reviews I've been reading online already.

I started luforbec 8 days ago. So far it’s been ok with no bad side-effects. I was on fostair and was told lufobec has the same long acting bronchodilator. I’ve been stepped down from high to medium dose inhaled steroid (200/6 fostair to 100/6 luforbec) and I’d say I’ve not noticed much difference. Hope it works for you.
