My asthma was under control with symbiotic but few weeks ago clinic changed my medication to Potomac. Been coughing since, made me feel rotten and unwell. Anyone else had difficulties with this new medicine?

That should have read medication changed to spiromax.

Yes, I was given Spiromax (instead of Flutiform). I too coughed loads, and felt very dizzy and itchy. It is a gritty powder which probably explains the coughing. I'm now seeing the asthma nurse next week and will post what she says. I have gone back to good old flixotide and Ventolin when needed. I don't think combination inhalers suit everyone, although they do seem to help lots of people.

Maybe you should contact your adthma nurse to let her or him know you don't feel well.
