Go back to your GP, explain the side effects that you are having and ask for a change of inhaler. It is a shame that this has happened but not unusual, I have been using Fostair for 2 1/2 years now and it suits me.

The same thing happened to me, so the GP put me back on my original inhaler, and then the consultant put me on QVAR, which although mainly for asthma works fine. Don’t be afraid to tell your doctor that a medication doesn’t help you and is making things worse. They really do want you to feel better, and may have to try several medicines to find one which works for you. Good luck xx

It doesn't suit everyone, I tried it had same issues and went back to seretide very breathless on fostair

So sorry to hear that. Do go back to your gp ASAP to have that changed.

I was changed to it a few months ago without anything too problematic.

Do take care. Good wishes.
