Relvar Ellipta side effects

[Glen68]

So, I was taken off of Seretide (using for years without issue). Finished my last inhaler 4 days ago, and am now on Relvar Ellipta. Been on it for 4 days and experiencing a sinus headache for 2 days. No hoarseness and no other issues.

Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Hi Glen,I have had sinusitis since I started Relvar about 3 yrs ago, it also seems to aggravate rather than ease my cough! Due to severe waiting lists here in North Wales I am still waiting to be seen again by my cconsultant 15 months after my GP sent in the referral. I preferred Flutiform,but apparently Relvar is a cheaper option so they tend to prescribe it to save NHS money! Persevere for a few months and see how you get on, you can always go back and ask to be taken off it if it is causing unacceptable side effects.

Thanks for the feedback.

Visited my GP, explained the situation and he has reverted back to Seretide, with the comment if it wasnt broke, why fix it.

Seretide was practically Side effect free, so fingers Xed its still the same.
