I've been on it at 250 for 3 years. Only thing I noticed was easy bruising.

The surgery sent me a letter saying they were changing it to Forstair. Money saving, I bet.

Hi Mandy,been on seretide500 for two years now,one puff twice a day,no noticeable weight gain.They tried to change it to some cheaper inhaler that did,nt do anything so insisted I go back.I have been putting on some pounds recently but I think it,s just too many pies.It,s too much effort and time to cook so I go for anything easy for lunch.I,m walking more now the weather is better so if I can find an alternative to the lovely pie I should be ok.Take care now!David.🌻
