Incruse inhaeler

[puppylover]

I have just been prescribed this additional inhaler by the pulmonary rehab nurse. I have only used it twice but now have a cough and runny nose especially at night. How can I tell if this is a summer cold or side effects of the inhaler? Cough and cold are listed as common side effects. I am now unsure if I should continue taking the inhaler or should stop immediately. Any advice would be welcome.

Hi , if you are unsure about taking either talk to your nurse or GP. They will certainly give you the right advice. Let us know how you get on. Love 😊 Bernadette xx

Hi Bernadette, I saw the nurse at pulmonary rehab who suggested I continue with the inhaler a while longer as my symptoms may be hay fever or a cold. Thanks for your interest😋

I wish I could give you some decent input. I was first put on Breo then my pulmonologist added Incruse about 4 months ago. I did have a night time bout a while back with nasal drip but I'm pretty sure it was the bad allergy season (trees) and it was a return to hay fever after a 5 year hiatus. ----they say it's another result of global warming.

I did use NasalCrom and it helped.

Hi, can I ask if you have found the Incrise to be beneficial? I understand it is a Lama and helps keep the airways open for 24 hours. As you have been using it for 4 months, has it made much difference? As this is new to me I was wondering how beneficial it might be, otherwise there is not much point in persisting with it. I would appreciate your opinion. Thanks 😋
