Thankfully, have not had an asthma exacerbation whilst on the new inhalers -ciclesonide and seretide. Had a sinus problem and used my ventolin then and all was well. Was wondering if like with my old inhalers I could up the dose of these if I did have a bad asthma exacerbation. Previously was told I could up dose of seretide to 3 times a day and the inhaler I was on before the ciclesonide to 4 times a day just wonder if this is still so when I am on the Itraconazole too? Keep forgetting to ask the Doc as I have generally been so well since going on these medications. However, it is too late to ask when I am poorly and wondered if anyone had been told they could do this for a short while before getting to see Doc - say for a weekend? I was also told previously to do this whilst on antibiotics to help but not sure now? Anyone got any idea?

sorry. I am a big fibber I am on Serevent. Was on seretide years ago. Was on Serevent and flixotide previously and now on Serevent and ciclesonide with salbutamol when necessary. I didn't have any problems when I was on seretide it just didn't seem to work so well after a while. Don't take an antihistamine at the moment. I used to ad I had hay fever like symptoms in the summer but since using a nettipot to washout my nasal passages this doesn't happen so much. Why do you take antihistamines, is it part of your aspergillosis treatment?
