Hello Marie,

I have been using symbicort since diagnosis last may & have not suffered any side effects.As hev67 says always rinse after use to prevent oral thrush.Good luck with it & best wishes xx

Hi

I have been on it for a quite a while, it's great what a difference it has made. Works better than ventolin in an emergency and seems to control things well. Good luck I hope like me you find it beneficial.

My husband says exactly the same - that the symbicort works better than ventolin even though the medics say it shouldnt. Relieved to see your comment !! TAD xx

Agree with hev67, always rinse and gargle with fresh water to prevent any possible side effects. I was on Symbicort for a few years and had a constant sore throat.

Then Seretide spray inhaler, seemed absolutely fine. Cons changed it & now on Seretide 250 dry powder. Two weeks in & okay so far Martin 1945. P
