New to RELVAR

[Melwoosnam]

I've just changed from Fostaire to RELVAR 94/22 for my COPD, please has anyone had any bad side effects from using it. Regards. Mel w.

I think you mean Relvar 92/22. I have been on that inhaler for over 3 years with no side effects.

Hi, thanks for reply, after reading about Relvar I'm a bit concerned that some of side effects leave you prone to serious chest problems Pu,Bron eta, after having major chest surgery years ago I can ill afford them, up to now it's shaky and tiredness and feeling rotten when I wake in morning. Regards Mel W.

I am also on relvar and i get headaches and dizzy spells not sure if it's the relvar or other medications let me know how it affects you

[Nottobad in reply to nottowell]

Headaches and dizziness could be a sign of low O2 level.

[nottowell in reply to Nottobad]

What does that mean i've never heard of it

[Nottobad in reply to nottowell]

O2 level is oxygen level

Hello Melwoosnam .

I was on Relvar for a few years but I never had any side effects. However, everyone is different. Feeling tired and shaky first thing in the morning could be a number of things. I don't really want to speculate too much, but obviously it means you aren't getting proper sleep which could mean sleep apnea (morning headaches, sore throat, fatigue first thing in the morning, waking up feeling out of breath, loss of concentration) or your oxygen levels are simply low during sleep. I think you should bring your concerns to the doctor who prescribed the inhaler to you. And explain your symptoms. Ask if the benefits outweigh the risks, then decide what you want to do. You could always try something different.
