Some inhalers have chest infections as a side effect. Check the leaflet that comes with it.

Yes, but I stopped taking OnBrez (Indactorol) after 2 doses, I was packed ready to go to hospital, but had caught it in time, did not need to go in the end, thankfully.

The inhaler was changed to Spiriva and not had any real issues with that.

I have no problem personally, however my grown up grandson ended up in hospital with pneumonia when prescribed Seretide, could just be coincidence of course. He does not take that drug anymore.

As stated by others check the side effects of what you are taking as they can cause chest infections. If this has been an issue for you, you should check with your doctor as there are other inhalers you could try.

Not what you're looking for?
