Fostair

I have been prescribed Fostair to help with my COPD. I take two puffs in the morning and two in the evening. I find it makes me light headed and it gives me tremors. The tremors make it difficult for me to drive and for simpler things like holding a cup or knife and fork.

Does anyone else suffer the same effects?

Hello Becksagogo

Just read your post - same thing happened to me when I was switched to Fostair. I was tod the symptoms would subside but I really couldn't cope with feeIing so light headed. I can't remeber why the clinic put me on it, but I went back to my usual regime of Symbicort and Spriva Respimat which seems to suit me better.

Much love and I hope things get better for you.

I am using Fostair 2 puffs morning and evening, together with spirits respimat 2 puffs am. I have. Of had any tremors from either. I suggest you see your COPD nurse or physician.
