Hello Delboy, several months ago I persuaded my GP to let me try Stiolto Respimat. I was on it for about a week and it was brilliant, much better than the Symbicort I currently use along with Spiriva. Then I started to get itchy eyes and my eyes began watering so bad I returned to my GP. He concluded that there was something in the drug that was drying the lubricant in my eyes and so as a result I went back on the Symbicort. I was a bit gutted because the drug was so good and my breathing was a lot easier. I sent an email to the drug maker (name escapes me now) explaining what side effects I suffered but I never received an reply. I am in the throes of trying the drug "Fostair", when the doc gives me it and hope it will improve me as the symbicort doesn't seem to do much now.
