Fostair and weight gain

[deni-123red_]

Hello,

I’ve just changed from Symbicort to Fostair as I felt the Symbicort wasn’t helping as much as it used to. Has anyone on Fostair noticed weight gain? It’s one of the side effects which I’ve never seen on an inhaler before. Any advice gratefully received.

Hi Deni, I've never taken any of these so unfortunately I can't help you with this. I have had to change inhalents though. Your pulmomary doctor would be best to advise you of that. I've not heard of one with that side effect. I'm thanking God now that mine doesn't. Maybe it won't affect you that way. Everyone's different. Hope you get it figured out. Enjoy your day, Terri

Thanks for your reply. It’s a bit of a minefield with all the various inhalers I think.

Enjoy your day too!

I hear you, but thank God there are that many of them. We all need a different kind that works just for us.

Yes of course we do and it’s helpful getting others opinions in this group

Right. That's what's great about being a part of it. I hope someone who's familiar with these inhalents will respond soon.
