Hi,

I've had aching hands/arms for a few months now, wonder if it could be side effect for seretide -I've been on 1000 micrograms a day for a few years

If it is a side effect , will it help to reduce dosage ( don't want to do it without consultant and I will see him in a few months time) or I will have to change the inhaler? Do all steroid inhalers have aching joins side effects?

Good night to everyone!

Section 4 shows all the side affects and aching joints is a 1 in 10 chance. I also have arthritis so not 100% sure if it is that or seretide. I do get sore and loss of voice even though I gargle after taking?

I too suffer with a sore throat and loss of voice. I have found gargling with salt water morning and evening has helped.
