I actually dread having my inhalers changed because of some bad reactions to a few of them in the past. Glad you're back on the ones you're happy with x

18 months ago my Seretide was changed to Sirdupla, and I thought I was going to die - tremors, cramps and violent, aggressive nightmares. After realising what was causing this, and asking to go back on Seretide, the symptoms took a long time to go away. I reported this drug to the health authorities, and I am surprised that it is still being prescribed. I hope it does not take a fatal result with someone for this drug to be banned. My best wishes for your health, Albert.

Like you Albert i reported the side effects i wished i had not put my body throuigh four weeks of hell. The pharmasist phone me twice the first week to see how i was getting on and said it would improve but it did not. I think im just getting back to the stage i was before they changed it so fingers x for 2018 thankyou for reply

Hi.....I can't take Tiotropium inhalers .....My throat closes and I cough & cough , it's so bad sometimes I sound like a dog barking. This reaction comes after the first usage of a new inhaler . But my chest nurse will insist on giving me every new inhaler to try. I think have finally got through ..... to leave me on Symbicort ....
