I've been on it for years and have not had any type of excessive or abnormal bruising (I should be put in a big plastic bubble, with all the falls etc I have). You need to bring this to your doctors attention, we are all different and react to Rx's differently!

Good luck🥴

Stay blessed and strong

Interesting, I am not on that medication but I have been bruising easily lately. I believe that it started after my Dr added Qvair. I have really been struggling with the addition of this inhaler. The bruising is very hard to deal with emotionally, for me.

Yes, horrible bruising started a year ago. I’m a very active 71 year old, gardening-yard work etc. I have been on Symbiocort for 25 years or more.

I have been on Symbicort for about 10 years and for the last few years I get terrible bruising. If I knock my arm the skin will tear and bleed. Even things like having a shopping bag on my lower arm will result in big red bruising. Have mentioned to doctor but as asthma is controlled don’t think they want to change medication.
