Fostair question

I take two puffs of Fostair twice a day. Can I safely increase this by adding in a lunchtime puff? I’m wheezy I think because of Spring allergies

I’d advise you booking in to see your Gp (or getting a phone call if they are closed). It may be that you’d actually benefit more from an antihistamine regularly than increasing you fostair (which it depends on your strength as to whether you can increase it or not, and for regular you need to get it approved anyway)

I hope this helps

Thanks.

I’ve been prescribed Montelukast and had it for two weeks now. I think that has helped a little. Not sure if you can take antihistamines with Montelukast too?

Yes you can take montelukast and AHs.
