Hi, I have severe asthma and have it ad an add on inhaler. I have just been using it this past 2 weeks and my peak flow is eventually improving after a few months or so.

I also take lots of other meds too though but it does seem to be helping.

I hope you find a regime that works for you soon!

It takes ages to find an inhaler that is suitable for you, lets hope this one is and you start to feel relief soon. Give it a couple of weeks to work x

I too have had trouble finding inhalers that suit but alvesco seems ok. I'm on other stuff too. (Copd, small airways disease and asthma)

I’m on Alvesco too, have been for a few years. It works for me and I have severe asthma and a few other issues. I use 4 different inhalers and also take steroids and montelukast.
