symbiont inhaler

[Homer12]

Hi all

My consultant had recently changed my inhaler from a forstair to a symbicort, However since I have started using the using the symbicort I've had really bad pains in my back/side, Has anyone else had similar issues with symbicort ? TIA

hi yes my dr has changed me from fostair to symicort as he uses it. Since using my new inhaler I’m very thirsty all the time and come to think of it nagging side and back pain from time to time but I do have a dodgy back strange?

thanks for the reply,I'm back on the fostair now and I can already feel a improvement in my back/sides,Its one of the common side effects having back pain so I'm 99% it was caused by the symbicort
