acid reflux is a side effect of taking inhalers

I never knew and have not been told by my GP thank you x

Monkelaust isn't an inhaler but a tablet.

Just a thought, is it the same brand/box you usually have? Sometimes different brands have different ingredients even though the active ingredient is the same. xx

Please don't stop any medication without discussing with your GP/asthma nurse. It's worth discussing this with them anyway if it's recent - as someone else has said it may be just one brand of it. If so you could ask them to prescribe a brand you're ok with.

I read in a group on Facebook: Montelukast (singulair) side effects support and discussion group, it may be helpful that it was one of the side effects. They have several resources listed in the group. Please report any side effects.
