Fed up with inhalers

[Edam]

Fostair gives me weak rubbery legs.

Serevent gives me evil level tinnitus

Braltus gives me blurred vision

Is there a inhaler which does not give side effects

I have not found one without side effects ….just have to balance the positive and negative .

Fostair and Serevent don’t work for me , but others fine with them .

Ah that sounds awful 💔. I don't think there is if you haven't already been offered an alternative? I know salbutamol causes heart palpitations which isn't good I take that only in an emergency though like your supposed to and I noticed if I take my inhalers on a full stomach I don't feel down and depressed after, so strange!

I don't have a problem with fostair.id talk to Yr gp pharmacist or at chemist

I have not had Braltus but Fostair and Serevent , never had a problem.

Hi , I had problems with my inhalers (daily) and my GP was very helpful. I tried 6 different types and luckily the seventh one seemed to work well (Spiolto Respmat) 2 puffs per day. My GP only had access to 7 types but you need to try as many as you can to find the right one for you. If your GP is hospital based then they will have more choice. Good luck in the future. Kevin

Hi I am on seretide 250 which seems OK and have been on it in different doses for a long time

Hi Adam I'm also on Seretide 250 2 puffs morning and evening. No problems. I agree to try as many different ones. Fostair was a definite no no for me. Hope you find the one for you

It's awfull when you get side effects I understand how you feel but every medication has a draw back some alot worse than others some lucky peaple don't notice it could be a case off tria and error till you find some thing ta suit you hope you get sorted

I also use Stiolto/Spiolto and have had great results. I don't think any of the COPD inhalers are truly "side effect free", but as someone else suggested we balance the good against the bad. Please check with your Dr, there are many inhalers for COPD and new ones being developed. Hope you find one suitable to your needs.

The last 2 mornings I have got up 2 hours earlier to take my Fostair and rinsed my mouth and then went back to bed for a couple of hours. I cant full over if im in bed.

Its been 2 weeks of getting up early to take my Fostair but so far the benefits of getting the full dose of inhaler is worth the effort .It is a effort as I use a Full Face CPAP mask
